is everything a baited hook?

i've had a long week, full of car accidents, academic stress, family illnesses, & romantic frustrations.

so when i call you tonight, which i will, i don't want to talk. not about this. i promise, i will be honest, & i will help fix our problems.

but tonight just tell me you love me, because i'm tired. tell me you miss me. talk to me about nothing until four in the morning.

you have to promise to do that, because i hate hospitals, & i hate the police. i hate sirens, fighting, bad report cards & crying.

i need you to be the good thing in my life.

i'll try to do the same.
