diet coke cans and candy wrappers

Here I am, alone for the first time in a long time. Alone against the night, alone against the day, alone. And beside me is a constant reminder of you: your phone, left here laying alone among the bed blankets and the famed remote controls. To the other side of me is an airhead wrapper and on the table, two easter baskets, yours and mine. And that's how my whole life is these days: yours and mine, hearts, thoughts, prayers. Ordinarily I'd be mad about the wrapper, the diet coke cans left all over and your bag opened and spilling out hanging over the chair. But as I think about it, I realized tonight that you are the most important thing in my life and no matter what happens, what comes up in our lives, i'll always be there to support you in whatever you choose. And if it turns out we're not supposed to be the people we think we'll be, I'll still be there, always, forever. So in those diet coke cans, wrappers and easter baskets, in your phone and your bag spilling open over the edge of the chair, I've realized: i'll always be there, cmart will always listen :-)
