If You Leave Me

If you leave me,

 You're finished

If you leave me,

 You're gone

Not a moment to spare

 Or carry on…

   Carry on…

If you vanish,

I'll vanish

And match what you do…

If you leave me,

I'll leave you

And we'll leave We

And we'll leave We

And we'll see

That there's nothing

But Love in our eyes

So then we'll stay

And just stay

Because we

Want

To.

"SHE'LL TELL YOU GO SHIT IN YOUR HAT."

On the cusp of our weddin' anniversary,

For some reason I had an ole memory…

Of…

When I FIRST got married,

In '88…

He was a nice fella, just not meant ta be…

But I'll never forget

The reception: My Ole' Pops

Was yelling this statement

With gusto, to a friend…

This friend who had said:

"Your daughter's a beauty."

And Pop yelled: "BETTER YET!...

SHE'LL TELL YOU WHEN

TO GO SHIT

IN YOUR

HAT!"
