As the wind blows
I stand
My hair waving with it
My clothes stretching from my body
But I myself
Am still
Like a rock
In a flowing river
The wind goes around me
Does not move me
It only makes a soft breeze
Not hurting
Not helping
Just there.

I think I know why you ran...
I remember sitting at your kitchen table
Confessing how I wanted to see your face
When you are older
When laugh lines have carved it and silver has touched your hair.
And you said
Quietly
That you didn't know if you would live that long.
I understood what you meant
And I took your face in my hands and kissed you
And I never thought to tell you-
I thought you knew-
That I would rather spend a year with you
Than the rest of my life with anyone else.

If my heart could write a symphony
All you'll hear is pure cacophony
My heart cried, I was in agony
Oh, the irony

No matter* how tired my legs get...I'll never stop* chasing you.
No matter how much my chest hurts...It'll never stop beating for you. As I get nervous, anxious...excited about what you're about to say.
No matter how much my mind spins...I'll never stop thinking about you, your feistiness, your smile, the way your eyes look at me a certain way.
I'll never stop trying.
I'll never stop trying to make things better.
I'll never stop showing you what you deserve. Clear skies, a peaceful mind, forehead kisses and "I miss you" at the end of each letter. I'll never stop. Even when you want me to because I know you don't want me to truly stop...and go away.
I'll never stop because not many people can make me feel this way.
The best part of the story, and always the highlight of my day.

"Thank you!" as she would say. Lol
But...
I just wannted to make her smile.
I hope I can do that now, tomorrow...and always.
I'll never stop.
