Keep me somewhere. Fold me enough times to fit inside your shirt pocket and carry me with you wherever you go. Keep me in the lead of your pencil. Keep me potted by the window and water me every day. Keep me from the cold winter rain. Keep me in a picture frame, on the wall, on your desk and on your nightstand. Keep me in your wallet. Keep me in your phone and on your screen. Keep me in the melody of your favorite songs, in the setting of your favorite stories and in the meaning of your favourite poems. Keep me hanging off the stars at night, sitting on the moon and rising with the sun. Keep me under your pillow and dream of me. Incessantly. Keep me in the empty spaces of your room, your fingers, your atoms and molecules. Keep me there with you when I am not. Closer than skin. Longer than time. Promise me this…
