forever
here we are
somewhere new
again
somewhere
i didn't know existed
(i can't find my way out of a paper bag)
(but if you'd drawn me a map, i would've tried to find my way here)
and
i'm terrified
i've spent nearly five years
chasing after something i wasn't sure existed
and it's even better than i ever imagined
i've been yours
this whole time
(even when you've not wanted me)
but
you've never been mine
and
this is
a lot to lose
i don't want to lose it
nowhere's felt like home
in a very long time
not like you
nothing grounds me
like your grasp
nothing calms me
like your touch
and
i'm homesick
i'm
begging for you
pleading for you
just
pick me up
take me home
