My love for you is unending,
like the adhesive properties of chewing gum, still stale from tobacco smoke, stuck to the fractured asphalt in the alley you refuse to go down.

Tired, aching, and ready for rest. Caffeine wired, near breaking, but nevertheless blessed. Broken to fit, creased to stoop, up and undaunted until five. Spoken to when there’s desire to quit, released to the troop that is unwanted though still alive.

I will walk beside you in the tangled web that is existence, behind you when you fear that you are being followed, and just in front of you when it is needed to part the oncoming wind that desires to deprive you of your smile.
