Do you mind?
Do you mind if I sit here?
Sit here and explain
Explain everything
Everything I've done
Said
Felt
Everything you don't know
Everything you probably just assumed
Do you mind if I lie here?
Lie here in your arms
because it is in your arms that I find comfort
I find relief
I find home
You must always remember
No matter who i am or who i become
You are and always will be my home
Do you mind if i cry?
Just cry
Not of sadness
Not of despair
But out of relief
Relief that its over
I can feel it
Yes they are tears
But of relief

The author's comments:
I have been through a lot these past 5 months. I have felt a lot. A lot of pain and hurt. But in that indescribably horrible pain, I found a true friend. It reminds me that everything will be okay in the end.
So hold on, there's hope.
