One day
Added 2020-12-27 02:41:45 +0000 UTCOne day when I joke about being right you will not find it funny. One day you will push a little too far with your pestering and I’ll get mad, actually mad. I’ll tell you to grow the fuck up and you won’t like it. There will come a time when my insistence on remembering everything will no longer be sweet and helpful, it will be a thorn in your side, a skill you wish I did not possess. One day it will grate on me, how you pick money over common sense, or how you can’t just leave things alone. I will drive you crazy with my insistence that I can do it all and the rules don’t apply to me. You will drive me crazy with your temper and your cold shoulder. My complications will be a liability, no longer intriguing. I will bristle when you squeeze me and say “mine”. I will want to assert myself. You will want to dig your heels in. We will both be our Fathers, we will both be too stubborn.
That day will come.
When it comes don’t shut me out, don’t push me away and I won’t run. I won’t end it a thousand times in my head and you won’t say things you can’t take back. I won’t count us out and you won’t expect the worst. When it happens I won’t throw fuel on your fire, and you won’t stomp on my heart. I’ll be gentle with you and you’ll come back to me when the storm has passed. We’ll be seasoned by the weather.
