Obstacles

You tell me that every time there is an obstacle that makes it difficult for us to spend time together, that you feel I get closer to ending us.

I tell you…

These little obstacles,
are minor nuisances that fade away
when I am in your arms
once again.
The only worrisome obstacles
are the giant ones
that block our path
entirely.
You know which obstacles
I speak of.
The ones that
cannot be brushed away
with a kiss
or suffocated
by a hug.
Still, I love you anyway.
