I’ve been thinking a lot lately.

Leah, do you sometimes wish you didn’t have to go home?
Do you wish your feet would one day keep walking
and take you far away from here,
far away and maybe your feet would stop in front of a house,
A nice one with flowers and big windows and steps
for you to climb up two by two upstairs
to where a room is waiting for you.
And if you opened the little window latch
and gave it a shove,
the windows would swing open,
all the sky would come in.
There’d be no nosy neighbors watching,
no motorcycles and cars,
no sheets and towels and laundry.
Only trees and more trees and plenty of blue sky.
And you could laugh, Leah.
You could go to sleep and wake up
and never have to think who likes you and doesn’t like you.
You could close your eyes
and you wouldn’t have to worry what people said
because you never belonged here anyway and
nobody could make you sad
and nobody would think you’re strange
because you like to dream and dream.
And you could sing,
anytime you wanted,
loud and careless,
flashy as ever,
without the whole world waiting
for you to make a mistake
when all you wanted,
all you wanted, Leah,
was to love, and to love
and to love
and to love,
and no one could call that crazy.

p.s. i'm not used to someone caring this much for me.
so, i'm sorry if i'm avoiding the outcome of
yet another heartbreak
that i'm pretty sure i cannot handle.
but i'm trying the best that i can.
