NOT BECAUSE IT’S COLD, April 2022

Not because it was cold,
But out of tenderness, I covered you
So I could love you while you slept,
And love you while I slept too.

Not because you’d shiver,
But out of gratitude, I covered you
So you could stay just as you are,
And be just as you are meant to be.

And, I thought :

 Which one feels more familiar?

The one who takes off without knowing the way,
Or the one who gets tired of a familiar path?

The one who loves the road they got lost on,
Or the one who gets lost and finds their way back home?

I was going to tell you, but time ran out.
The road I got lost on became my home.
I happened to became all the above
The day I got tired finally was born.
