"And at last,
I no longer have to roam
and I finally understand those
sailors who plant their lips to the ground,
I do the same with your body.
It's because you taste like home."
- Shane Koyczan
when im with you,
the world around me freezes.
a world that
i have not always gotten along with.
a world,
which usually feels like a speeding car
heading directly for me,
catching me like a deer in the headlights.
you feel like coming home
from a long trip
somewhere far away,
where i've been sleeping on a floor,
or maybe
a blow up mattress.
uncomfortable and exhausted.
you are that feeling of climbing into my own bed once again,
finally getting a good nights sleep.
even if i could traverse to the ends of the earth.
i still don't think i would find a better home than right here in your arms.
