And even when you leave,
I will still be open doors
I will still be no vacancy sort of heart
because that room will always be yours
And even when I come home
And your drawers are empty
There will always be space for you
And I know — this kind of love
It’s the kind that makes you tie up your shoelaces extra tight
because you plan to run and run far
But distance — see distance has nothing on love this deep and this wide
See distance is nothing but an inch you can keep track of on your own pinky
Because once there is less space than that between us
There is nothing coming against this
We will brush hands
And no one, not even you
Will be able to deny the “finally” that escapes from the tips of our fingers
When they wrap and intertwine themselves as if they knew what it was to miss the others press of palm
I get it– you’re scared
I get it– this is new and terrifying
And beautiful
And terrifying
See this. This is no space for cowards
This will take all of you and all of me
I am sure, that we will take turns racing to the door
But one will always stay
And we will always know
what it means to come home
So take your time
Be scared, shake off the jitters
And come back
Because not even fear could convince you that this — is not where you belong
