REPORTABLE INTEREST

To be near you

I have biked forty miles

in hailstorm conditions

been pelted by an furious nature

rising up against its enemy.

I have bled, sweated and spat

out things I should have kept

all simply to reach you

to be in your vicinity

in any way around you.

I have dedicated my day

to circling your sphere

being about you

to be able to approach you.

If I seem a little cross

a little tired

I apologize.

But how can you say

you don't know if I care?
