YOUR ARMS

I didn't think I would ever feel this way. In your arms,
I was fine,
I was calm,
I was safe.

I didn't think I would ever feel a stronger feeling than this.

We were both drunk and didn't know what we were doing.
You didn't know what I was doing.
I did.
I knew it wasn't normal for you, I knew you would be sick.
But I also know that for once, I didn't feel like too much,
For once, I didn't feel like a burden,
For once, I felt light,
I felt wanted,
I felt appreciated.

You were soothing me with your voice, your hands,
your breath.
I knew you weren't in yourself,
but for once,
let me dream.

Let me believe that someone could hold me close like you did that night.
Let me be selfish for once and not think. I felt small in your arms,
I felt like a child in your caresses,
I was in love with myself,
I wasn't thinking too much.
I was happy for once,
and I was with you
in your arms.
