after all

xxxv.

my love,
how could you imagine
me ever leave your side?

i am yours truly
and though the days may seem shorter,
the seas wilder,
or the hope in your gut darker,

i am your constant
i'm the brisk, always caressing
your sun-kissed skin and
pushing you forward
i'm the sky that always looks out
for you and surrounds you with love
i'm the air in your lungs and the pink on your cheeks, keeping you alive

and i am not going anywhere.
