(Dedicated to my boyfriend. I do that a lot. <3)

If someone asked me about my home I'd look down at the ground timidly, smile softly and shake my head, the way I so often do.

Then as they persisted for an answer I'd finally give in. A pink tinge will fill my cheeks and as I cautiously raised my eyes to meet theirs I would softly whisper your name.

They will look perplexed. So I will repeat my answer slightly louder,  with more confidence.  Confusion will spread across their face. They expected me to tell them all about the place I grew up but instead I said your name, and the thought of a person being "home" is bewildering to them.

But I won't bother to explain, for I know they could never grasp what I meant. They'd never be able to understand that I felt much more at home in your arms than I did when confined within the walls of any building.
