Hey Mind

Hey mind
I wanted to sit with you for a bit
And let us both enjoy some quiet time.
But you just want to swing from the chandeliers
Cry for chocolate
Worry about me
And play tag.
I won't be IT today.
I won't chase you round and round
Though I know we've played this game and eaten tons of chocolate
All for years now.
No, today I'm just going to sit with you.
You can swing and cry all you want.
You can dance the mambo and scream, and oh I know you...
You will.
Thanks for being you
And as hard as it is for both of us,
Thanks for letting me just sit here.
My lap is ready for you when you need to rest
And then there will be no you, no me
No games to play
No chandeliers
No chocolate
No worries.
Just. This.
