My New Home

Folder: 
Love Blossoms

I hate looking back 

at the journey

that brought me to you.

 

I made so many mistakes

I wish I could take back

but they led me to you.

 

The further I am from my escapades 

the more I feel like 

that girl was someone else.

 

Yet they are still my past

so maybe I was that girl once

but have since changed. 

 

You altered the trajectory

of my life like (he) once did

but this time for the better.

 

You are the reason

I've become who I am now

with your unwavering love.

 

You washed away the pain

of years past with 

the warmth of your embrace.

 

Those days still haunt me

from time to time

but with less and less frenquency. 

 

I want to make my new home

in your affection,

dwell in your arms forever.
