Happy Valentines Day

There was that moment
when you told me things
were fixed.
Do you remember?

Tears of joy and gratitude rushed
to spill down my cheeks
because it had been a brutal day,
everyone angry at me
for something I didn’t do.

And now, because of you,
I was so relieved.

You were surprised
because you could hear them,
nearly taste them over the phone.
I heard your breath catch
and you laughed softly.
I imagined you felt rewarded
for your hard helping work.

My tears were too early though,
I was quick to find out.
Things weren’t ok yet.

But they will be
soon enough.

I know they will,
because in all the years
I’ve known you,
with everything
we’ve been through
together,
you’ve never once
let me down.

So I will be right here
waiting for you
because
always and still,
I believe in you.
