The house is a bit cold, <br />folded blankets are kept nearby, <br />curl up on the couch, <br />cover with one and look outside. <br />Warm sunshine trickles down <br />through the plants and Christmas tree, <br />when my eyes are closed, the light on my lids <br />almost convinces me <br />and I make believe I'm at the beach. <br />You are kind of like that to me, <br />seeing you reminds me of other things, <br />it's a comfort I can't explain, <br />my heart begs me to look again. <br />When you've seen what I hid, <br />still only acknowledge with a smile, <br />I feel precious and protected, <br />in your loving eyes I become a child.<br /><br />Lauren B Called<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/yeah-it-s-kinda-like-this/
