The Road

When he's not beside me,
the road is empty at 2am.

When he doesn't talk,
it's traffic — horns and brakes.

When he speaks,
it's a traffic-free road.

When he smiles,
it's smooth, no obstacles.

But I don't care where the road goes.

I hope it leads to him —
wherever he loves to go.

Himalaya.
Volcano.
A place full of obstacles.

Beside him,
being a shield to him —
that is enough.
