Ode to My Recent Companion

All my other friends were unavailable,

He was there 24 hours of every day.

All my other friends would say “congrats” on better health,

He would be honest and remind me “there’s more work to be done.”

He is reliable and consistent.

I turn from him weeks at a time;

Yet, he welcomes me as if I never left.

He provides shelter against fire and ash;

And a sanctuary from boredom.

A rekindled relationship

With my companion,

Gym.

I do wish this renewed friendship with your gym will lat a little longer.

Guess it's more like an affair. I turn to Gym when Tennis is inaccessible. I am such an abuser.

I'm not so sure Gym would be there for me any more. Probably doesn't even remember my name :(
