No Replacement

Every day
I go through the motions
as best as I can,
but, the days are still too long.

Every night
I go to bed with notions
that sleep will be easy,
but, the nights are too short.

Every time
I invent some options,
they prove once again they can never
replace you and your love.

Every knight
on land and in the oceans
has his one true lady
for whom there is no replacement...

...for this humble knight, that lady is You.
