Owe

Folder: 
2017

There are things I will never get tired of

like hearing your half-asleep voice,

my arms around you,

as close as I can get but too far away.

I want to linger here until it feels like staying.

 

I will hope you have a smooth road

or that you can step over the rocks.

I will pick up the pieces that fall from your pockets

when your head is too heavy to bend.

I will love you however I can,

however this lasts,

maybe it will.

 

We are trying.

We owe it to ourselves.
