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.
