Home As Well

She’s leaving I don’t know why “Goodbye” she says And then…she’s gone I wait and wait …and wait But she doesn’t come back I miss her I was her home And she was mine But now she’s gone The door handle turns Is she back ,could it be? Oh…a new person He doesn’t look like home He doesn’t look like her Years passed and I lived with him I eventually began to trust him I protected him He protected me A familiar feeling slowly returned And I knew Even if I missed her Even if I mourned her Even if she was my home This man is home as well
