Flinch

What do you mean

You can’t believe a word I say?

I mean,

I’m good for it

I’m innocent,

I’ve never harmed you…

Have I?

Come on

I’m kidding.

I’m joking.

But really,

You can trust me.

Don’t listen to your mom,

She never liked me.

Don’t depend on your friends,

They’re only thinking of themselves.

You see I,

I’m here for you,

And only you.

Forever.

Until the day we die.

Okay?

Okay. Good.

What’s that?

Your gut?

What does that even mean-

You’re going to trust your stomach

More than me?

More than us?

Get real Brenda.

Your stomach is in knots

Because we’re in love

And you’ve never

Felt like this before…

Have you?

Didn’t think so. Good. Good.

So don’t worry about it, ok?

I’ll be back.

Soon.

Why do you ask-

You know I hate

When you ask questions Brenda.

It’s almost like

You don’t trust me

And you don’t know what I mean

Or believe what I say.

And we can’t have that.

No… I won’t have that.
