Seeking meaningful friendships
Was all I was looking for
Meeting new people
Not expecting anything more

I am in a good place
feeling content on my own
putting myself first
I feel so much I’ve grown

Yet unexpectedly
you caught my eye
I tried looking the other way
that was a mission to try

So many thoughts
as my mind wanders on
people come and go
before you know it they’re gone

you ventured the world
trying to find your place
building homes in others hearts
going at your own pace

you’re in a great place you say
you feel right at home
but are these feelings temporary I ask myself from you being alone?

“It could be a phase” Are my thoughts
given the patterns that I see
perhaps another venture
testing the waters with me

I have no void to fill
needing no one by my side
and im a pretty open book
not very much to hide

If you still decide
That you want to come my way
Be honest and kind is all I ask
Whether or not you stay

Unbearable pain
Something I’ve experienced before
Time and earning trust
Are the keys to these doors

When it comes to you,
it is not about
the word 'happy'
I am talking about
It is about how the
world turns,
or the night changes,
and the sun rises
It is about your hand
that keeps me sane,
or your smile,
and how it teaches me
about missing someone
It is not just happiness
you give
It is about how
grateful I am
to have the privilege
of loving you.
