I thought about always
On the train that day
As I rushed across state lines
To be by your side
And I thought about always
When I got your calls from jail
Counting down the days
Until I could hold you again
And I thought about always
When I had doubts
After coming face to face
With your addiction
Watching you weaken in a way
I didn’t know was possible
For a substance I don’t understand
But that knows you all too well.
But always means
The fight is no longer yours
It is ours
And always means
I love you through the weakness and pain
And monitored phone calls
And thin glass dividers
That might as well be miles thick
Because either way
I can’t touch you.
And always means
You're the only one
Who could ever make me brave enough
To think about always
