One day, a hurricane crashed upon a place in my heart

The same place that housed the soul

The little creature was left stranded on wrecked streets

She thought, maybe there'll be fire brigades to help me

But the only sirens she heard was from the scream in her throat

You heard me somehow, when my voice was lost,

You took me in and wrapped me in bandages and your stance

You let my leftover rain

Wash the remnants of the previous accident

And then checked upon me until I could fully sing and dance

My mother always told me that the soul is a canvas

So I loved to dip it in blues

But when you told me you like sunsets,

I started to paint myself orange

And then you shouted and said I love the blue sky too

There was a hanging bridge in front and behind and the two sides

I was frightened to step onto a start

Then you came along, with hands outstretched

Not to carry me, but to hold the bridge

Until I walked all steady and all through the path

I told you you're my hero, you're my everything

And I'm in a kingdom where you're the king

I'll live for you until the very end

But you smiled and whispered and nodded,

Say all of that for yourself

We're now in our living room, resting on a foundation of stone

You lean in and whisper,

I'll be your fallout shelter,

But you need to be your own home.

I smile, you smile and then you kiss me in a flash,

And honey, I cry this time, you've built me so firm

That I'll perfectly survive the next hurricane crash.
