My One True Believer

I felt your face
felt for you
your indecision
the beautiful
shock of your sudden smile

and in all my failure
to succeed
you are there
my one true
believer

I felt your hair
nape of your neck
slightly shy
I am always
discovering

and in all my failure
to succeed
you are there
my one true
believer

I felt you smiling
as if at a child
eyes soft and indulgent
and I undeserving
absent-mindedly,
crying

and through all my failure
to succeed
at the games
out there
you are constant
my one true
believer

isn't it
