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.
