Nicotine

You smoke. You smoke when you are with me. You smoke when you are not with me. I have asked you several times to quit smoking. It’s bad for your health. It’s bad for my health. But you wouldn’t. You couldn’t. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. That’s what you told me the last time I asked. Only then did I understand. That will be the last time I’ll ask you to quit. Smoke all you want. Smoke when you are with me. Smoke when you are not with me. Smoke when you are with me. Even if it kills you. Even if it kills me before it kills you. I do not mind. I understand. I do. You are my cigarette.
