until I don't know when
paula mcmath
you're the third guy I've dated
with out of state plates
but you're the first guy I've known
who lifts me by the weight
of your struggle to remain
the boy in your man
and I am strong
for the warmth of the skin
on the palms of your hands
you were a face among many
when anything might've been too much
and you were the only one I could see
in the crowded room of a dream
on a day when you reached to touch
with courage beyond your sighs
and I am strong
in my mind for the gaze
of your smiling eyes
and for now
until I don't know when
I just want to love you
the best that I can
you're the first choice I made
with a blade that cut all the weeds away
and you're the last tree I'll climb
for my time to carve my name
next to yours will quickly pass away
like the lines in a song
and I am strong
for the knowing
that we remain though we are gone
