Here alone in the world I know

Here alone

With the front door closed

Back door open

I can say who comes in and who goes out

And now I have the chance to open my front door again

Do I really want to?

If two waves cannot join but only rise up to disappear again

Once again becoming part of the ocean that gave them form

Then why struggle to find love

Perhaps love is all around us anyway

But still I know how good it feels

When tenderness is passed from eye to eye

Hand to hand

And heart to heart

And yet

Even still

I long so much to be apart

In this home I have worked so hard to own

Inside this body I have worked so hard to reclaim

Safe at home

In the world I know
