RV Station

Oh No! Don’t get me wrong.
I don’t want you to pledge
Eternity
I don’t want you to sing me songs
Of a youth promised
An age divined
Or write me sonnets or poems like mine

No, that’s not the effort I want to savor!
Will you keep me in your heart forever?

Think of me in a happy moment
On a good day
Send kisses my way
Hold my hand when we walk together
Or keep a palm on my back
Act as my tether
Keep me grounded, keep me firm
Stay with me. Keep me warm
Allow me the caress, the heat of your palms
The safety of your arms
When my heart aches, be my balm.

Even if we see sunrises, lands away from each other
Will your faith in me never waver?
Will you keep my heart safe forever?
