Recovery
I know this sounds absurd but I swear to you this is true,
I love to call your house and find the lack of energy tat used to define you.
To hear you say you're lounging instead of running up and down the stairs,
or matching up your knickknacks so they all produce pairs.
It's wonderful that you're sleepy and your vaccume's run just once a day,
how great that our conversations are not rushed we say all we want to say.
Yes to know you crave food more than extra time brings a smile to my face,
doesn't it feel wonderful to relax not participate in the race.
All this makes me happy for you as I can possibly be,
But also I feel gratitude for it makes the struggle easier for me.
To know some one else has the courage and the hope,
helps me greatly when I believe I have reached the end of my rope.
To know some one I love is struggling much the same as I,
helps me to stand tall and tell myself there is no need to get high.
So I thank you for your ambition and admire you for your strenghth,
and know I am beside you on this path regardless of the length.
