I love it here

Blossom, I love it here.
Where the cracks are vivid,
and the ground is always wet.
I rather stay here than anywhere else.

We've never had a home.
All the houses we slept in we despised and left.
let's just stay here despite it being uncomfortable.
let's just stay here despite our landlord still sing the song of empty promises.
 
I know there'll be a time your patience will fade, 
you'll have to go away and carry me along. 
That day will come for sure,
for now let's just wait and hope this landlord renovates.

Love how you captured that bittersweet feeling of holding on to a messy, imperfect place because it feels like home. The "Where the cracks are vivid" line is my favorite, super cool.
