Boundaries

I wish I could make you understand

That what I feel is free

My love for you is true

But I know some things will never be

I'll do my best

And hold my ground

But I'll never cross that line

Platonic soulmates are sometimes found

So while I look at you with longing

I know just where I stand

As close as any lover

But I may not ever hold your hand

Sometimes this might hurt

But mostly I feel joy

For I know that no matter what

With my heart you'll never toy

For You

I dreamt of you

Long before we met

My past relationships,

I thought I'd found you

The one from my dreams

But they were not true

They were not you

And you are Her

I recognize your scent

My nose connects the memories

The dreams and the reality

The smell of peace and home

I remember the way Her hands

Felt on my skin

My heart beats faster

Each time you reach out

Is it my eagerness

Or your own fear that stops you?

I look at you, longing but fearful

I want so many things

To run my fingers through your hair

To feel the silkiness of your skin

I know what I'll find

But I'm afraid to try

If only you'd realize

I'm truly for You

Home

Home

The place where the stress

And trials of the day

Fall from your shoulders

When you've been searching

For your whole life

To find peace

To find home

The place where you leave

Your worries at the door

Walk into open arms

And loving hearts

Treading lightly

Not from fear

But from respect

Mutually held

For countless miles

My legs have carried me

But now I can rest

Safely at home
