You're looking for a muse, that's how it seems to me.
I'm not your muse. No, no I'm sure it's not me.
I'm more like an interesting character you meet on the way.
We are the character actors in each other's play.

Our interactions propel the stories
on their separate trajectories,
so let's skip the part
that leads to broken hearts.

Let's be the buddies
in those buddy flicks
who stay true throughout
and send each other off
with nothing but good wishes.
