after all

after all
the trouble i've caused
you

you're still here

after all
the worries you've made me
worry

i'm still here

is it a tribute
to the steadfast nature
the untold nurture
that makes us
one

or is it a
fool hearted exercise
that melds our minds
into
goo?

i never thought
that you
would stay

when you walked
out that door
that day

pacing the hall
deciding my fate

with you

you stayed true
through the uncertainty
of us

even when
the chance for us

is barely above 
a whisper
