Safe

I have spent my life
wandering from place to place,
looking from face to face,
hoping to find a space,
an opening where I could be safe.

I have spent my life
wondering if I had a home,
believing someday I would know,
a feeling when I got close,
recognizing here I can be safe.

I have spent these months
realizing home is not a place,
memorizing your handsome face,
waiting to feel your embrace,
and knowing that's where I'll be safe.
