i want
to be
there
to wipe
away
the tears
you shed
in your
silent
hours,
your hours
spent
alone -

away
from them,
from them
all:
those who
smile
in public
but sneer
in private
behind your
back
against the
walls
scribblers
of
insults and
whatnot -

those
scamsters
who claim
your
friendship.

i want
to hold
your hand
in the
best,
the worst,
the most
of times,
hours, days,
weeks, months,
years -
forever
and then
some.

the earth
has
journeyed
thrice
and more
since that
day -
that day
you
ingrained
yourself
into my
mind.

i
no
longer
care
what
frenemies
may say,
scream,
rant
and wail:

i don't care
if you
turn away
so long
as i
know
for a
fact
this
admiration,
infatuation,
inspiration...

is
purely,
simply,
sincerely
love.
