In the centre of my heart

You are warmer than my duvet

Warmer than the hot water bottles my mother use to give me

Warmer than the sunset reflecting in your eyes

The light brown sprinkles from the dashboard to your pupils in seconds

You look at me because you know you mean the world to me too

I’m happy once the key meets the door

I hug the cushions even closer than your heart on mine

It’s the relief that I made it after everywhere I have traveled

It’s the way you look at me after I hug you and the hug wasn’t long enough

It’s in the aftershave you wear that you splashed for me

It's the way you stare after you laugh without a care

It's the way you hold my hand so close

and the peace I feel when I’m finally in bed

It’s when the plane lands and you instantly feel complete

When you hold my hand and my fingers have molded to yours

It’s when I close my eyes every time you kiss me

It’s the way you smile when you try to tickle me

Why are you so close but so far?

I feel pulled to you like a plectrum meets the guitar

When I don’t see you, I miss you more and more

I miss the letterbox and the doorbell for sure

You cannot create these four walls and what I feel when I’m in your car

It's not one place its where I feel secure

I feel like you know how much I want to go there

The place we were at before I went so far

The day I left you got back in your car

I never wanted to leave or go that far

But you knew that my heart was searching for something you already found

I had it inside me, and I didn’t know

What happiness is to you? Was not where I felt most secure

I am a free spirit and the bird in me still must have a nest

As I fly away, I only want the best for you and for me

You know the story and the rest

Thank you for my place

Thank you for your heart in me

Now I feel like I only have half

Half of the nest I made

And half of the nest I gave

To you, to me, and to the future nest we were looking at to make

I still see the sunset in your eyes

I still see the heart that beats for me

I still see the security that you seek in me

I still see the mold my fingers made in your hand while you kissed me

For that is where I really want to be

Not just the cup of tea and a biscuit with the quick catch up you wanted from me

You’re the key to the feeling I long for

You’re the place my heart will never forget

Now that's it my heart is set

When I was little you were the first place I wanted to go

Not to granny’s house and the scary grandfather's clock that made so much noise

You are more than just the price of the building

You’re the place I cried, I laughed I succeeded, and rested

When I speak to you, you slow me down

You center me and remind me that you have always been there

You remind me to eat, call it a day, and sleep

You remind me that tomorrow is a new day

You tell me to come back

You call me and say good morning

You’re the message I get. first thing

Even though the moon and stars moved so much that night

you send me voice notes and remind me I was on your mind

My heart is still half of yours

You don’t have to say it

Your brown eyes are half as sparkly as mine

My eyes light up when I feel secure around you again

I get the feeling when I hear the key

You are here and my heart smiles that you're walking in

You put on the kettle and just the steam Boling means you missed me

It’s my favorite mug and the food you cooked that’s sitting on the counter

I feel like I’m back where I belong, and I check if you are too

Sometimes I get the feeling in the garden

I love nature so much and it must be the bird in me

I see the nest that the birds made

And what I thought was missing from me

I was wrong to lose that place in you and you in me

I’m sorry I went so far and broke the relationship growing so well

Please remember I never saw the nest we made so well

I’m glad I came back

I’m glad I kept the key not just for the door but for you and me

The back door was always open

Open because we are both free spirits looking for another nest

A Nest of love a nest to belong

Some people would do anything for this feeling, I took for granted for so long

I asked you to come here so I could feel it once again

This is where we started

This is where my heart got excited

Thank you for being part of this small space that is so underrated

I love it when I’m all alone here

Sometimes I walk around in my underwear and sing to all the songs only I want to hear

I long to be in bed and not get up for the doorbell that is never near

For you’re the feeling where I always felt both at peace and strong

Strong like the bricks that held on

The bricks that conceal the atmosphere

The bricks of this family

The bricks that made this feeling,

This place

The center of your heart will forever and always be my home.
