+
+***
+
+The pendulum swings yet again back and forth
+as I ask you the millionth time and one more
+if you still love me, still tolerate
+my existence, are sure towards me
+you hold no sliver of anger or hate.
+Because we've made these vows so many more times,
+but I'm forbidden by my anxiety
+from failing to plan for any contingencies.
+Like I'm my father now,
+I myself with questions hound:
+"Well, now you're twenty-two,
+and I don't want to seem like I'm forcing you
+to come along with me."
+
+Angel numbers meet at midnight's bend.
+"For you, you'll never see me again."
+But Jett, does it work the other way?
+If I ask you to, will you forever stay?
+Will you swear yourself in health and sickness to my lonely side?
+Will you in this new world I am creating reside?
+
+Because, you should know,
+if you willed it,
+I would gladly disappear.
+
+Go, if you must,
+without fear.
+I will be here
+at the end of every day
+to reclaim
+that which was only ever mine.
