I drank & danced ‘til night came

& almost blew him off for

A bottle of my favourite type of wine.

I lay next to my lover

& he stroked me like I wasn’t

About to leave him right again this time.

-

He had that look in his eye like

He was wondering if it meant much

Then he kissed me so the words could not come out.

And I laughed & swayed ‘til morning

& when he touched my body

I smiled at him like there wasn’t any doubt.

--

And I love him

More than I know him.

He doesn’t mean much

But that doesn’t matter much to me.

-

He is just a lover

And they come & go far too fast

But I can say goodbye then

When I have to leave.

--

I danced & drank ‘til morning

& almost called him up to

Annoy him like I did in old age times.

I lay next to my lover

Who asked what I was thinking

As I stared at my phone waiting for a reply.

-

You had that look in your eye like

I was crying far too much, like

Then you kissed me so the tears would stop their flow.

And I laughed & swayed in your arms

Pressed up against your body

Because I love so much more than you know.

--

And I love you so

Much more than I know.

He doesn’t mean much

But that doesn’t matter much to me.

-

He is just a lover

And they come & go far too fast

But I can say goodbye then

When I have to leave,

When I have to leave.

--

Because ‘home’ for me.

Is in your arms,

When you’re looking down on me,

& smiling & saying,

--

“Everything will be alright…”

‘Cause everything will always be alright.

…And now I’m home.
