Home Sweet Home

Here is where I want to be;
otherwise I am adrift, lost on a
moon orbiting a strange planet.
Everything about me thrives because of you.

Surely, you know that.
We are two sides of the same coin,
each with its own character;
each with its own heart.
Together we are whole.

Happiness comes and goes.
Our lives are not perfect but
maybe that's as it should be;
Everywhere you are is home to me.

Author’s Note- In case you hadn’t noticed, this poem is an acrostic– a poem where the first letters of each line spell out a word, name, or phrase. It’s fine if you didn’t notice, in fact I think I might like it even better if it flowed so well that you didn’t. Either way, I hope you enjoyed it.
