"Between Here and Home"

I'm in between here and home,

Lost lines and lover's lies,

I can't go back,

But there's such a long way to go

Between buried life and married,

Between here and home

I don't know what the future holds,

I only know it never ends,

It never stops.

I'll travel forever,

Trawling the depths of ink and paper,

Trying times and tiring trouble,

Typing times and turning seasons

Older and younger, I'm always changing

In two directions

Like splitting atoms

Who's to love me? Who's to say?

We can't know what the future holds,

It's a slow journey with shared destinations

But I'm so curious, so impatient

And oh

so lonely

But I love to travel,

And I love the journey,

I see so much lovely

So much beauty

You've given me the one thing I desire,

Most of all,

Though I forget it sometimes

All I really ask is that the journey never stop

And that's all you’ve promised me,

We can't know who or when

Where or why

We just know it's for always

The journey never stops

So between here and home,

Lover's lines and lost lies

Let's love with all we have,

For on this never ending journey,

Every breath is precious,

Let us love like every minute matters,

Let us love like the journey never ends
