Number-one bestselling author
I never really knew
what home was until
I met you.
Growing up, there were
temporary shelters from the shadows,
places to lay my head down,
rooms to sleep in,
but even they had ghosts
from my past that
I carried with me.
Now, with you, I have
left behind the shadows
and the dark, and we
have built a home together.
More than that,
with every piece of furniture
that we placed,
I was putting a piece
of my heart back
where it belonged.
With every piece of art
that was hung,
I was putting a window
into my soul so that
you could see into me.
With every lamp
that was lit, it only served
to make my own light grow
bright enough so that
it shone like the sun or
wishes fulfilled.
You have shown me
that home is indeed
where the heart is
and my home is
wherever you are
because you hold my heart
so completely.
