272 i know

with us

i know

since pen touched paper

i have had hope

i didn't know it then

but i understand now
that

actually

i am a very 

optimistic person

i know
we'd last
more than two weeks

i know
i could be with you
especially now
as i convalesce

reaction time has slowed
among 19 other
improvements

i know
you make delicious breakfasts

i know
we could move and train
strengthen

i know
you could capture
eyes and admiration

i know
i don't believe in karma
and if i pretend to
the world has nothing negative
to give me
if it would seem to
i could combat it
or let it pass through

i know
i am eating and not purging
not harming, stronger maybe not each day
but at least each month
i know
more and more time on arms
instead of legs

i know
we breathe life into each other

i know
i would be okay without you

and that is how i know
we can be
