I don't know how to feel; how to act around you.
The silence doesn't help me, maybe it helps you.
But help you how? To figure everything out? Or to forget me?
I'm adjusting.
Everyone and everything will leave me at the chance.

I want you to be different, don't leave.
Red flags tell me I need to evacuate, but their's someone I think I can fix.
But only if you allow me to remove the mask as you deal us in for the long game.

We can stay here, at the table, for as long as you need.
But if you continue to fold, I have no choice but to fold too. And leave.
I don't want to leave.
I've placed my highest bet with you, please don't make me lose.
