Finding Peace

She didn’t find peace with crowds
Or in mind-numbing activities
Or sitting restfully by herself
She found it wrapped in his arms

She'd tried so hard, so many times
And it had all seemed futile
She'd looked so far for comfort
And it had eluded her again and again

And then he was suddenly there
And she didn't know it at first
But she couldn't win until she stopped
 Stopped trying and stopped fighting
