Never Hanging Up

never hanging up
always being there
never will be used to it
welcome mat still shining

never hanging up
encouraging words forever endless
never will be comfortable with it
taking her coat anyway

never hanging up
eyes never rolling either way
never will get the hang of it
preparing her favorite adult beverage still

never hanging up
platonic chemistry intact
never will come close to loosening up
still cuts her cell phone off for the duration
