What could you do to earn my trust? How could you possibly make up for what you did? I thought about it, now I know.

You could start by convincing me that you don't just want sex. That you want to see me grow. You have to buy me small things, and help me work on things that are due. Next you can let me move in with you and put my pieces back together. You can take away the bottle then go down on me for an hour as I shake from withdrawal. You have to take me out to eat and listen to me as I dramatically reenact my day. Then you have to impress me, you have to hook up my dvd player, fix my computer and download my favorite childhood games. I have to learn some things from you and you must learn from me. You have to overreact to every small thing I do for you even though I roll my eyes. If I surprise you, it's because I want you to compliment me. You have to be over-the-top sweet to me. The cheesier, the better. That is, after all, why I put up with you. You have to wait for me while I'm confused, because someday you're going to need me.

All the things you have done to convince me to fall for you, you must now practice tenfold since it was those things that kept me around so long. They are the reason I hurt now and the reason I could leave you.

Paradoxically, the reason I am still around is you. You have done so much. As long as you are still who you are, and as long as you still love me, you will be forgiven.

All I need from you is time.
