you are a traveler
it was winter where you were
you were alone
surrounded by nothing
but coldness, loneliness, darkness
i took you in
maybe it was your (sad) eyes
or the way you moved
but i took you in
i gave you shelter
but in time
i wanted to give you everything
warmth, love, care
(shelter for your heart)
you became stronger
and got back on your feet
but i became weaker
the way my knees would buckle listening to your laughter
and one day you told me you loved me
and i believed you
as fast as when you left
the very next day
and now i am stuck at home
alone once again
but i forgot how to live on my own
and all i remember is the way your hand felt in mine
because you are a traveler
and i forgot that i was no different
than just another stopover
that "stay" wasn't a word in your dictionary
and all I could do is survive
the storm raging inside
that you left behind
ever since you left
