he
whispered to me to love him
through the tough times.
and he made me aware
and let me know how tough
his tough times could be.
but I couldn't understand why
he had no faith in me. Of course
I'd be with him within and without.
through everything; did he really think
I would bail on him once he showed sides
of himself that I was unaware of?
because little did he know,
I knew him better than he knew himself.
I knew how he ordered two creams
and one milk in his coffee though
it made his coffee too black. I knew
when he said "bye" he wanted me to kiss
the sadness from his lips.
I knew how he wanted me to *love more
than the actual definition of love
could sustain.
I knew.

this poem-ish thing took an interesting turn.
