How It Is
I didn't know it could be like this.
That my feet could stay planted
and my heart made whole
by one person.
I didn't know I could find a home
within another's arms,
or find a light so powerful
it would drive away the darkness for good.
I didn't know I could feel like this.
That I could be safe to give myself up
for someone else
and keep them safe in return.
I didn't know. How could I?
When the one to show me had yet to find me.
But now I know.
It can. It will. We will.
