Tell Me

Honey, I need to hear about all the other fish in the sea
tell me there's someone else out there
tell me that someone will love me for me
no doubts, no convincing, no conniving,
someone who won't bore me, or irritate me
or tell me I should quit my job.

Tell me there's someone out there who'll make me smirk
tell me I shouldn't get cynical again.
tell me someone will love me enough to be sure.
to propose without moving in, to love me first.

Tell me I don't need to be so scared, or so sad.
tell me it would never have worked or
tell me we can still make it work, that you have discovered
you are the man I have always dreamed you would be
and all my worries can finally fall away.
