Sometimes I wish things weren't so awkward now
because I've read that reply probably three times today
and every time I do I adopt this sloppy half-smile
especially when I read the lines
I care about you, and will do anything to get you happy again.
Just tell me what you need.
The rest of it is kind of harsh,
but coming from (I hesitate, not knowing which pronoun to use)
(compromise –((him/you))
it makes complete and perfect sense.
So I thank (him/you) with complete silence,
with my half-smile
and my lighter look at things.
