Love is parked in the crater of my heart

The thrill of being alive, never expires
As I sit here a little more lonely than usual
Watching life turning to ashes and rags over the self
But on this side of the living room when your voice echoes
A song that builds me a home in a foreign land
Everything seems to be safer and warmer.
Love crested and wore itself like flesh on my bones 
And I happily learned to live there
Sincerity makes sense when I point to your chest and find my homeland there
Sleepless nights feel like your arms
And spring tastes like your lips
Life suddenly feels too fragile today
As I walk miles and miles with no map, no guide with my hand in yours
and god knows why...
This hand doesn't know what it's supposed to do other than holding yours
Love seems like the far-end milestone of this road
And yet stays over my head like a clear sky all the time
and for the first time in ages, your absence doesn't make me feel old and withering
For all you've ever done is to enhance me the way I am
for better or for worse...
These 27 moons have been a twisted yet beautiful turn of fate and not a choice
For this is the only kind of love that'll always feel like family seating itself by the dinner table even when it's seas and seas afar...
And it'll come without notice and make any place of walls and ceilings a home.
Maybe one day this world will stop forcing its sense to me
Maybe one day my poetry will stop asking for justification 
Maybe one day I'll search for reasons to love you unreasonably 
And that'll be the day when the sun leaves a long breathe and leaves the bold unfathomable sky 
And happily sets into your face and your hair, and your heart...
That'll be the day when you will settle yourself on my chest and let out that one breath you've been holding in for so long
Till then 
Let this vagabond of a ladybug
Climb into the gap of your ribcage and fill it with my love.
