Home (Fin)

Safe
I am
Treading pavements
In slipper clad feet
The perfect air
Cooling my warm face
Safe
I am
As you extend your hand
And we walk
As one
Down these brick lined streets
How did this become our home
When just one year ago
We didn't know the other existed?
Now these streets
These tall buildings
These people at outdoor cafes
Are the backdrop
for our fairie tale ending
The salt air of the harbour
clinging to our hair and lips
As we walk our dog
Quickly acknowledge the neighbors
Sneaking moments
At our favourite places
Safe
Now that I have found home
In your arms
On our bench
Reading fantasy novels
And drinking hot chocolates
Safe
Now that I have found home
Window shopping
On the way to the market
And striding back
To see you again
Knowing you'll be
Right where I left you
And waiting for me
Just the same
Safe
I am
In the comfort of this knowledge
Safe
I am
In this love that's become home.
