You

You really do care about me, huh?

And no matter

how many times

my brain tries to convince me otherwise,

you being who you are

keeps proving it wrong.

Just the way you show for me

in ways

that nobody ever did.

That look,

then you smile.

I didn’t know

my eyes could look at someone like that.

This feels unreal sometimes

because my heart and mind

still don’t move

at the same pace.

My heart already knows

I’m safe.

My mind,

still double checks the doors,

still waiting

for something to suddenly go wrong.

But even then,

I see the way

that you love me.

My mind still stumbles sometimes,

but loving you

has never felt unfamiliar.

Being with you

is home.
