I worry that my eagerness might scare you away
that I’ll jinx us by believing in a future so blindly
or play the fool once again, falling alone
ignoring any rough waters saying I should have known
better by now, but I’m willing to make a deal.
I’ll be a fool for you if you’ll be the same for me
Trust in me, and us, to expose every depth of you.
Swim in me and my waves of acceptance will gently carry you.
I will let your light explore every darkness I fear lurks within me.
I’ll be home to you and you’ll be home to me.
