Know thyself I didn't make demands Not money, no expectations from my brother who I'm now lying to My mother has no input on jewellery, she didn't say how much time we owed I didn't say we owed time My father didn't put up a wall and say find employment immediately or this is unacceptable I told my father not to talk about family I asked him to figure out the damn dress He was willing to arrange a contract signing in two days and cover all expenses to help get things done I don't have any demands All I want is my space and your time and that is something that needs to be justified Now all I can do is take my space and give you your time The time that you once told me you wanted to spend in a different country You werent going to be there for rides, or pets, or being the glue when everyone fights You were willing to make that stand for yourself And I hope that you understand I'd like you to make it for me too That's my expectation of you And I'm curious if your list of expectations will ever surface between the rides to controversial interviews and dog sitting I'm curious to know if my list will be swept under the rug and if you'll ever tell me you appreciate it This has nothing to do with them and everything to do with you Will you fall in love with the dog as you've fallen in love with the assumed future we will have with family I don't think I will And I'm not going to ask for your time in these circumstances Not when it will be counted as time not spent tending to them and time spent tending to me I don't need tending to now and even when I did, I brought the cub along, I sat in the living room I'll take my space and you take all the time you want If at any point my family and Thursday come up, we'll be ready Somehow I don't think they will anytime soon I'm trying to remember who you are You remembered me when I forgot myself and I came back I hope you remember that boy at Starbucks, I think you've forgotten him, I won't |
