The Mistakes I Keep On Making...



We have to talk.

Yeah, I know, we don't, fine, I do, ok? I'll talk, you listen.

Wanted you to know, I'm holding your future for ransom. You have a lifetime in which to fulfill my demands; and they're gonna change, day to day, month to month, year to year, and I want each one as much as the last. You can't cheat on them and you can't cheat on me - but if you want to, you can try. You can also try to leave, but you'll never feel quite the same, remembering why...

    First:
  1. be normal
  2. be honest
  3. be you


  4. Second:
  5. talk
  6. listen
  7. respect


  8. And without screwing it up:
  9. promise
  10. grow
  11. stay

It's not rocket science. It's not the end of the world. It's not like I am asking the impossible. This is not a price you can't afford to pay - it's an investment that can keep the both of us from the mistakes we keep on making.

I know who I am. I have my plans, and my plans not to plan, but I don't know where you fit and I don't know what you want. So far so good, and it doesn't need to change, but one day it will: and somehow, I have to stop myself from the mistakes I keep on making.

I know what I want. I have my plans, and my plans not to plan; but I don't know where I fit and I don't know if the next move is going to fuck the whole thing up. So far so good, and it doesn't need to change, but one day it will: and somehow, I have to end the cycle of mistakes we keep on making...
