'The One Who Loves You' by Ravyn LaRue

You feel like home to me
and I don’t know how to explain it
but you do
there’s a piece of my heart
that evidently got left with you
(regardless of whether or not you noticed)
I left almost all the pieces here when I left
I just didn’t realize until halfway through
but I realized
and when that happened
it hurt hard
and for some reason
(the home-ness probably)
I got this notion that you could heal me
but I need to heal myself
I know this
I’m a grown up and I cannot rely on others for my agency
yet connection is what I’m about
and connection is what you’re about
and I love you for many reasons
but the compatibility
of you and I’s soul-speak is certainly something
even if you don’t understand my poems always
and even when I’m ten steps behind you
you somehow feel like home to me
and believe me
that means the more than the entire cosmos
