The right time

I found peace in you.

I found your arms a safe space for me to cuddle in.

I found your voice soothing the screaming in my head.

I found a home, in your heart.

But I did not realize the flame that surrounds my heart

was burning you too.

So, here I stay.

Distant from you.

Here I stay,

picking up the pieces I broke.

As I admire you from afar,

picking up your own pieces.

Watching you as you find your own source of peacefulness.

Loving you without getting too close.

But my darling, I promise,

when all is better, and the time is right,

I will be better.

And whenever you're ready,

when you've found your peace of mind,

I hope you come back home to me.
