Today I said "stop"
and he
Listened
But when I told you
"Not today" you
Laughed
When I said
Thank you
He asked
"For what?"
And when I forced a
"No," you
Smiled a
Crooked
Smile
When I broke
Down, he lifted me
Back up to a
Laugh
And when I let out
A nervous smirk
You translated it into
"Convince me"
When I drove home
Ashamed of
Giving in, I was waiting
To meet a friend
Like him
