In Your Heart, Where I Belong

In Your Heart, Where I Belong

I tried to make a house a home

in less than four weeks, 

Love is what everyone seeks.

I waited for you till hours

seemed like they would never end,

it all seems silly now how long it

takes a broken heart to really mend.

I once called out your name

to hear nothing after, 

I call out your name now and

hear your remarkable laughter.

Before you, I tried to show

people who I really am,

the harder I tried, the more I found

that no one gave a damn.

I have put on so many masks

for so many people so they could see 

what they wanted to see,

I did this for so long I forgot what it 

was like to even really be the real me.

My soul has been hurt but not yet broken, 

my heart been cold but not yet frozen.

I once tried to make a house a home, only to find,

that it is only a state of mind.

I have now come to realize

that my Home is in your heart,

and from here I hope and pray to never apart.

Life has many mistakes, twists and turns along the way, 

I pray you know just how important you are to me someday.

To my beautiful wife! 

from your faithful husband, Michael.

I have searched for you from the desert to the sea`s shore, 

in my heart you`ll be ... forever more.
