For five minutes I wept and shook in your arms
For five minutes you embraced a broken man
all the mess was gone, all the walls gave in
For one minute you held my face in your hand
For one minute I pressed my cheek to yours and breathed
finally a real breath, not a gasp or a fight for air
For seconds you looked at me again like you used to do
For seconds the world was gone and it was just us two
For a moment
I was home

For five minutes I wept and shook in your arms
For five minutes you embraced a broken man
all the mess was gone, all the walls gave in
For one minute you held my face in your hand
For one minute I pressed my cheek to yours and breathed
finally a real breath, not a gasp or a fight for air
For seconds you looked at me again like you used to do
For seconds the world was gone and it was just us two
For a moment
I was home
