Survival Love

My fingers pause
on her lower back
as my eyes grow heavy
and my will, weak.
I drift off
to dream of
when this was easier.
It still works, I mean,
it always will.
It has to.
But when the push and shove
all come together
it feels harder than necessary.
Just like always I suppose
Just like today
like yesterday
but tomorrow
is coming.
And perhaps,
just perhaps,
we'll survive it.
