The homesickness I felt, drove me,
drove me towards you ever closer and closer....
and I found you everywhere:
In the mirror, in mannerisms I couldn't explain;
like a tattoo on my heart, a mark on my soul,
I carried you with me.
Until, I found you not existentially, but actually,
like you had always known I would...
and we found each other marked by each other
like a tattoo.
A permanent mark of brilliant colors, covers me
because of you. And in that mark I carry with me
the origin of my beginning, my link to the family
I never knew growing up; but those uncertain days
are gone, and now, I celebrate and mark each occasion
as special, because they're all full of firsts.
So, in my love, I couldn't think of a more permanent way
to say I love you than making a mark over my heart
for all to see forever...like a tattoo.
