if love is like you desire
then love has already seen some weather

too much heat
too much tension
both care and abuse

the neck will need to be reset eventually
everything should be properly oiled
but improvements aren't needed
that finish is just fine the way it is
and those pick ups sound amazing

get used to the cracks and dings
they are all part of the mojo
for the love of god
don't de-string it and put it in a humidifier

take it out
play it often
think of all the songs it has already sung
the places it has been
the stories it can speak to your soul

you said you wanted to be loved like a vintage guitar
and i realized i'm not a collector
i want just want to shred for always
