Bonfire

Nights we lay around the bonfire

Singing at the moon

The smell of wood smoke stayed on your face

Even after we went inside

I listened to your breathing change

When you fell asleep

And I stayed awake

Looking out the window

At the stars

Trying to forget the man I love

I wanted so much to be happy

So much

I wanted to do it right

But my life is so strange

And beautiful anyway

So many wrong reasons I gave you

When I was just afraid to love again

For now I only have to close my eyes

And know you will find your way back

To sleep next to me

This certainty is my home
