Drawn There

It wasn't perfect there
but I had something new
something I'd never had before
a love I didn't have to earn
a love I didn't have to earn.

Nothing required
except that I be myself
I didn't know I lacked it
until it was right in front of me
until it was right in front of me.

It was brief
and I didn't want to leave
but if I tried to stay
I'd lose myself trying to keep it.
I'd lose myself trying to keep it.

This is a family
I didn't know existed
a real love without limit
that's why I feel so drawn there
that's why I feel so drawn there.

Going back
makes me miss it that much
more when I must leave it...
in my mind I'll never leave it
in my mind I'll always keep it.
