Home is not a place.
It’s a smile, after
a compliment,
and it gets wider
when I tell him
I like it.
Home is not a place.
It’s his voice;
every word is a lyric,
that I’ll memorise,
so I can say it all
back to him.
Home is not a place.
It’s a kiss,
or a series of them,
soft and warm,
and comforting -
I’ll never get tired of it.
Home is not a place.
It’s his eyes,
the prettiest shade
I have ever seen.
They draw me in
every single time.
Home is not a place.
It’s him.
Every single part of him.
He makes the world melt away,
and I hope he knows -
since he is my home -
that I’m here to stay.
