In or out? Pick one, now.
You expect me to be a
half-***,
almost there,
a tie,
second best,
a compromise,
an "okay that'll do",
a "that's good enough" until the next best thing comes along,
an unfinished puzzle,
a half-colored picture from a
99cent coloring book,
an unanswered question,
a cancelled after one season TV show,
a cliff-hanger,
No.
It's in or out.
All or nothing.
I'm a destination after you've been traveling all day
and a place to call home.
Not a rest stop.
Not a piece in a board game.

I'm letting go of that one percent
chance you'll ever want to be with me.
Because I want someone who's one hundred percent.
Who's willing to call my bluff and go all in.

We all deserve someone who's willing to risk it all
just for a chance to be called "ours".

All those people in your life
that you have hanging by a measly thread,
one little, lonely thread...
cut it.
Snap it.
Chew on it until it breaks.
You deserve someone who's willing to
weave their own rope just to hold on
to you.

All in?
Or nothing.
