i am not real , but you were

59

and suddenly,

i was lost.

floating, swimming, drifting

far, far away.

i got lost in the way your hands slipped around my waist,

comforting, warm, safe.

i got lost in your hazel green eyes-

it was like drowning in a pool of honey.

i got lost in the way you whispered in my ear,

'i love you s and 'i want you's.

they were hungry words, caring words, and they only sounded right coming from your lips.

and suddenly,

i was lost.

floating, swimming, drifting

far, far away.

you took me to places i'd never been-

places of love, places of patience.

i'd never been to these places before.

you took me into your mind-

and all that i saw was me.

and you thought it was the most beautiful sight you'd ever seen.

and suddenly,

i was lost.

floating, swimming, drifting

far, far away.

you showed me kindness

when i did not believe it,

when i did not deserve it,

when i was too scared to take it.

you showed me worth

when i did not believe it

when i did not deserve it,

when i was too scared to take it.

you showed me love

when i did not believe it,

when i did not deserve it,

when i was too scared to take it.

there was a time,

when i swam, i floated, i drifted

far, far away

alone.

and suddenly,

i was lost.

i was swimming, floating, drifting

far, far away.

with you.

and suddenly,

you turned my lost,

into a home.
