Coming Home


How simple my life is now you are here,

How I cherish each breath, 

How I crave the light & laughter you have brought me.

I have fallen in love without take a step,

Fallen into the sweetest of dreams, 

How I hope no one wakes me.

The siplest gesture wraps itself around my heart, 

Where I will hold it forever.

Each time we say good-bye, a part of me weeps,

Though I know it's not forever

To my aching sould it is an eternity,

I see my happiness shine in your eyes,

Every time you hold my hand,

My heart skips a beat.

How seet life is to be yours;

How meaningless life is without you.

They know nothing of the lonliness before you

Nothing of the empty tears I cried day after day,

How did you do it, I ask myself,

How did you banish the fear, the darkness?

You have made me see that nothing is that bad

That I am strong & worthy of happiness

You have saved me from myself.

Everyday I wake up & smile to myself

Knowing you are waiting for me,

KNowing you can't wait to see me.

How would I gon if you were not there to hold me up?

To bless me with your love & light?

How I am glad you found me

My life is now complete....

I am home.
