I break down in the grass. and as I look up from my knees into the rushes, with the cold wet wind blowing between their damp reeds and across my tear-painted face, past me, off into the rain, I know that I will not stop, and will continue with my knee-soaked jeans until I find you,- because today you need me, so I will not stop. |

After writing, considered putting "today" in italics.
The beauty of the poem is that it's on somebody who already left me 5 years ago.
It's not in the poem though.
But although it occurred to me as I wrote these notes that I could put it into the poem... I don't want to.
I like the poem the way it is.
Somebody who wants to read the poem will have to read the notes first.
