Always You

There is always you
always there
lurking in the corners of my mind
riding listless along the shadows of my thoughts

You are always with me
At first I ignored it or
remained oblivious
unaware how much I depended
relied on the smooth deep swell of your voice
calling my name
as only you still do

But lately I find myself jealous
when others fill your space
take your attention
nestle a place in your heart
and I have to remind myself
that
you are not mine and
you deserve the love
I can never give you but you
are worthy of so much more
all of me and what I believe I can be
because, at my weakest and strongest
you have always been
right here with me
