Home

She sat by him,
And opened up about her life,
Her worries, her troubles.
All the while anxious,
He would stand up and walk away,
Scared off by the baggage she was carrying with her.

Little did she know
That the more she opened the windows to her soul,
The stronger his love for her would grow,
And even the strongest winds,
Would only make his roots wrap around her stronger.

Since to him, this was what love was all about,
A shoulder to lean on, an ear always open,
An emotion unconditional that could only ever grow.

And as he whispered these words in her ear,
He kissed her on forehead,
As she fell asleep in his arms,
Finally safe,
Finally home.
