i will sit here,
with the lion and the beat
i will sit here,
to know that it is clear

the psychopaths,
the vampire bats,
the panic attacks,
the excuses and self indulgence

because no one has made me feel
made me feel like you do
no one has made me feel so alive
not in the way you do

never be the same,
dispense with the pain,
drop the crutches
i do not feel so lame

the person who left
is not the person coming home
life has changed completely

i never planned for the unexpected
the least anticipated,
the ill situated,
i never planned for the unexpected

faraway from home,
coming back soon
but the word home
does not seem so important

falling for you
catch me,
catch me in freefall
falling for you

every changing,
there are lights above me
and a friend in my room
unseen,
but as telling as anything can be

you are so beautiful
your voice
your touch
your love
