There You'll Be

Sitting here tonight, I'm feeling a little homesick, a little nostalgic and a little bit just exhausted after crazy and emotional week. I want so badly right now for it to be October, to be walking down the beautiful autumn filled roads in Portland, or getting caught in a downpour and just smiling because the rain always makes me feel a little more like myself than usual. I miss the midnight whispers lying in our apartment, and riverfront on a cloudy day in the middle of the winter, sitting there on my bench, gloves, scarf and just writing, soothing my soul. My heart is there, it always has been. I've seen a lot of places in this world, and I've lived all over it, but only one place has ever really been home... with you.

I know that the path hasn't been easy. I know that I have needed time and that I have needed things a little different than most girls that I know, but it's just who I am, and you have loved me anyways. I have loved others, but never like I've loved you. As I fall asleep here alone on this island in the middle of the ocean, I will fall asleep remembering what it felt like to hear you whisper goodnight, and to know that in the morning, there you'll be, forever.
