Before you go
Just
Just let me say I love you.
Just let me say I want you.
Just let me say you were right.
Just let me say you win.
Just let me say I don't care.
Just let me say I care a lot more than I should.
Just let me show you I folded your laundry.
Just let me show you I cleaned up the mess.
Just let me hide the insecure parts.
Just drink this.
Just try this I made for you.
Just hold onto that thought.
Just let me take out the recycling.
Just let me know what you need.
Just let me close this deal.
Just let me pay the rent first.
Just let me put out those wildfires, baby.
Just wait a minute while I mourn a lost soul.
Just let me work this all out.
Just wait for me to forgive you.
Just give me a fighting chance.
Just let me finish my last sentence!
Just
Just, before you go,
say you love me too.
