Words come out
Affirmation. They send
to you
Confirmation to the
way,
Yet you know not my
true play.
It’s enough for you to
allow me
To walk beside you for
hours,
Talk and drive and
solve—
Not my heart’s dilemma—
Together in kindness
with a smile,
Joke and laugh,
Eyes meeting in friendship
Without doubt—For you—
While I sit next to
you
Sitting back on the
porch
Hoping for, hating,
enjoying
The moments of us
staying in, staring at the pines.
