In the event that you don’t leave me I will always make the bed I will wash the dishes, hang the t-shirts, match the socks I will throw out my receipts I will memorize all your freckles I swear by my ability to remember the lyrics that I will always give it my all Which is to say that sometimes I forget the lyrics - And while, yes, I am chronically lazy I vow to never waste another moment in your sunshine - A morning at your side Or a midnight half asleep retainer kiss I will save the episode And the last cookie I will always be saving your place. I will celebrate you I will look at the photo next to my bed as I have for the last half decade And say “thank you Thank you I’m sorry Forgive me I can do better Don’t leave “ A mantra
