MY SWEET

My sweet soul. 
I've moved countries twice. No, um three times. To find me - to find you.
I've broken hearts. Mine and others.
I've left when it was time to go. Before it became too late.
For some it seemed too early.
I waited to settle down, to find my Earth.
I know how to fly over the ashes.
I learnt how to swim deep, deep in the thickest of emotion.
I am lighting it all ablaze with my love.
When you are with me, it is known. The air feels sweet and electric.
My heart glows with the assurance that I deserve everything and more.
And I stay and go where you can be with me, knowing you keep me safe.
