COME, BE MY HOME

I need your breath more than words can hold
Take my hands, stay within my gaze
I long for the warmth that lives in your heart
My hands burn in snow—just wrap them in yours

I’m tired of all the time that passed without you
I was never a child, nor did I know my youth
I never learned how to be loved in time
Always alone, behind four silent walls

Snow keeps falling inside me, season after season
I wait at the window for a smile that won’t come
Come close—maybe I’ll learn to smile with you
Come before the curtain falls

I opened my heart, and your name was written inside
A blue soul was placed beside it
I never could solve this riddle called love
Before I lose myself, come, my love

Come, take my hands and bloom with me
Let me become life in a thousand flowers
Be my home, I’ll be its pillar
Let me watch the sunrise in your eyes.
