the other day

[vandershit]

I got lost the other day.
My mind was wondering off and dozing about
I've ran through daffodils and climbed high trees
but I always knew my way home;
I got lost the other day
and had no idea where I was but I knew I was home.

I found myself lying in your arms
while you sang me sweet somethings with your smooth voice.
I couldn't quite place where we were
or how I got to be there
but I did know that you were there
and I was there
and that I found myself lying in your arms.

I was wandering down a dirt road
which appeared to lead to nowhere.
I followed a set of footprints that were previously marked
and then nowhere ended up to be everywhere.
You had left me marks so that I would always find my way.
The journey was long and weary
and the road had many potholes
but you there you stood, at the end
And embraced me as if there were no tomorrow.

I closed my eyes just a moment ago
and caught a glimmer of light;
a sparkle underneath it all, a twinkle inside of me.
I felt you brush my cheek and saw you look in my eyes
and heard you say that it'll all be okay;
I'll be okay.
I closed my eyes just a moment ago
and you were there.

I had a dream last night.
The sky was setting and the lake was calm
but inside me everything was stirring.
As night air filled my nostrils you were there.
You put your arms around me and squeezed
and goosebumps got sent up my arms
relief ran through my body and I began limp.
I was vunerable as hell
and you held me.

I had be hunched up in a corner
with black under my eyes
and my cheeks wet with tears.
I saw movement but didn't hear any sounds.
You scooped me up as if I were a child
and carried me home.
My face was buried in your chest and you kissed my forehead.
You brought me home and gave me protection
and rubbed my back and told me its ok
until I drifted from reality into peaceful sleep.

I was thinking about you the other day.
You just never seem to leave
but seem to never be there.
I was thinking about you the other day
and how you make me home
and how you make it okay.

I woke from sleep the other night
and found Hamilton tangled and smooshed within my grasp
and my brain began to wonder to familiar territory.
I woke and realised I wasn't smooshing you
and you that weren't smothering me.
But from slumber arose a great sigh of relief
because I know now that I can live without the smothering
but I also know that I never want to try it again.

I smiled the other day,
not a great smile,
but a smile none the less.
I smiled because I missed you
and miss you even when your there.
I'm flying to you so that I can be home
and your coming to me so that I can always be home.
