You ask me why I am constantly running. I am holding out on being someone worthy of happiness. I realize it is at your expense.

Time only made my resentment grow fonder. You won’t wait around forever. But permanence is not a promise I can make.

My soul is bound to yours. Loving you is like having a fifth limb. Losing you and living without you was like learning how to walk again. I know you like the back of my hand.

But doubt has cast a shadow shaped like evergreen—

You still pull my strings from your place in my past. How can I move on If you won’t let me?

I fell first. You fell harder.

Now that you regret putting me back in the pond, You know that I was the catch of a lifetime.

All you want for Christmas is a second chance. Oh, but I’m afraid the ship has sailed.

And I couldn’t tell you where I will dock next.

You are Lovely everything about you is my favorite i love your hair light brown so soft when my hands run through it it feels like cotton candy I love your eyes green like the forests deep filled with untold stories you’ll tell me one day i love the birthmarks on your neck i love your cupids bow it gives you the sweetest smile that made me fall in love with you at first glance i love your abs sculpted by a greek god themselves i love your tan skin i love your hands and the way they make me feel when you run them all over me in forbidden places where no one else does i love your scent your cologne mixed with your boyish musk that i can’t quite describe but most of all i love your arms strong veined big gorgeous arms i told you that i don’t think i’ve ever met anyone as attractive as you i really meant it staring at you is like a gift i could do it forever i’ve never felt such a strong emotion for a boy i’m so in love with you i don’t even know how it happened you might be physically appealing but you’re just as gorgeous on the inside too you always always text me good morning before i wake up so i can wake up happy i told you id finally be up early enough to text you good morning but of course you set your alarm so you could wake up at 3:30 am just so i could still wake up to your good morning on the one day you didn’t have to wake up early you did for me and i love you for that you give me your hoodies so i can have a piece of you when you’re away and you switch them out when they don’t smell like you anymore you hug me for long periods of time your strong arms encircling my torso sometimes i forget to hug back and i just stand there resting my head on your shoulder your strong shoulder your brother walks in he asks why you keep hugging me you say it’s because you love me you hold me even tighter and in that moment in your arms i found my home

Beneath the stars, in twilight's gentle glow,
Where snowflakes dance, and whispering winds blow,
Amid the world that often feels unknown,
In your arms, my love, I've found my home.

Your warmth, a haven from the winter's chill,
Each heartbeat shared, a moment's time stood still,
In laughter's echo, in a tender sigh,
With you, my love, the world feels right, not awry.

The fire's glow, the soft and steady light,
Reflects our hearts, forever intertwined tonight,
Though seasons change, and time may roam,
In your arms, I found my home.

i brace myself, against the cold wind. it cuts me down, makes me bleed again.

the rocks dig, into my bare feet. i stumble on, too stubborn to admit defeat.

the rain pelts down on me, laughing at my weakness. freezing my bones. and all that it reaches.

i’ll fight, like i always do. it cannot win. i must get through.

the thunder bellows, as i try to run. “you’ll never get away, you’re pathetic, little one.”

but he’s wrong, you see. for i already feel warm. i can see the sun on the waves. in the most beautiful art form.

the water licks my wounds, as i run through the sea foam. and in your arms, i know i’ve found my home.

On a snowy Christmas Eve in the quaint town of Pinebrook, the streets glowed with festive lights, and the air was filled with the scent of pine and cinnamon. Amelia walked briskly through the falling snow, her heart heavy with loneliness despite the cheerful surroundings. She had moved to Pinebrook for work, leaving behind friends and family, and now found herself spending the holidays alone.

As she wandered past the bustling holiday market, she heard a familiar tune. Drawn by the melody, she followed it to a small corner where a man played the violin with a passion that resonated deep within her. She recognized the piece—it was her father's favorite song, the one he used to play for her as a child.

The violinist, a kind-eyed man named James, noticed her standing there and smiled. "Beautiful, isn't it?" he said, lowering his violin.

"It is," Amelia replied, her voice barely above a whisper. "It reminds me of home."

James's smile grew warmer. "Music has a way of doing that. Would you like to join me? I've got hot cocoa to share."

They sat on a nearby bench, sipping cocoa and talking about their lives. Amelia learned that James was a traveler, a musician who had been to countless places but always found his way back to Pinebrook for Christmas. He told her stories of his adventures, and she shared tales of her childhood and the traditions she missed.

As the evening wore on, the chill in the air seemed to fade, replaced by a warmth that Amelia hadn't felt in a long time. She realized that, in James's company, she felt a sense of belonging she hadn't expected to find. It was as if the very spirit of Christmas had woven their lives together in that moment.

When the clock struck midnight, the church bells rang out, and James took Amelia's hand. "Merry Christmas, Amelia," he said softly.

"Merry Christmas, James," she replied, feeling a tear slip down her cheek, not of sadness but of gratitude.

In the heart of Pinebrook, under the starlit sky, Amelia found something she had been missing. In James's arms, she found her home.

Christmas magic indeed. What a place for one’s heart to find its own true north.

it might be cliché, but i walk into your arms, and all of a sudden i know what peace feels like. it feels like sun streaming through windows, little dust particles dancing through the rays, it feels like the warm smell of fresh bread, baked with a little too much sugar and a little to much joy, it feels like not being able to sleep at night, going out to lay under the stars and wonder at the vastness of the universe. peace was not something i have always known, and yet it comes so easily when i’m with you.

Calmly she stepped an invisible wall shattered her hope regained after taking a step she thought she would never take a flame relit as if gasoline set on fire and though the mustakes we all make cause an invisible wall we can tape these torn oages and never again fall She let herself be held in his calming embrace as he assured her you are ok

🫀

In your arms I found my home, Like seriously, really though, Your arms are the first place I’ve felt safe, In what feels like a million days,

Holding your hand makes mine feel empty now, I miss looking at you and you looking back down, I really truly have never felt this before, I didn’t want to walk back out that door,

I would’ve stayed there playing games, Sure I was tired but til the morning came, Wish I held you longer then, When we were hugging on the bench,

Saturday meant everything to me, And now it’s back to just ft, It’s okay though I love us like this, Just can’t wait til it’s not just a wish,

That I’ll be home and not missing it, My tears will be smiles and a goodnight kiss, I love you so much baby I really really do, I didn’t realize at first I’d fall like this for you,

But you, love, you’re the one who gets forever, And I mean that, we will never part, not ever, You’re my favorite now til the end, You are my everything, my forever best friend,

Maybe it’s not been very long, But I know it’s you, that your the one, Cause in your arms I found my home, And I know I will never ever be alone.

I was blinded. They stole that from me. They stole my voice. They stole everything, I couldn’t write. I couldn’t type. But I always stayed kind. Sometimes I lied. Mostly I told all truth. You saw through it all my love, I saw through yours. You are my strength when I am weak, you are my voice when I couldn’t speak, you saw the best that was in me. Lifted me up when I couldn’t reach, you gave me faith so I believe.

Some more time must pass before we can meet again, but I know what to do. Think of a sack of potatoes.

And so, In your arms I found my home.

Anonymous.

In your arms I found my home Now I can’t be in bed alone

In your heart I found a place Now I can’t bear to see your face

In your eyes I found our hearts Now I am feeling torn apart
