When you are here,
I feel as if all the struggle
to get you to stay
was worth it.

When you are gone,
I always seem to 
ask myself what it was
that I did wrong,
and what I can do,
to make it right again.

When you are in my arms,
I finally feel safe
being on the inside
of my own skin; your presence
is the only thing
that makes me feel
as if everything 
is going to be okay.
