Darling,

I didn’t collapse the Silver Bridge
though I did try to collapse the walls around your heart
I chased your car that night because I was trying to ask for your phone number
but in retrospect I’m sure all you heard through the window was ‘eeeeeeeeeeeee’
and I stared you in the eyes because my therapist said I have to do that to talk to people
eye contact is essential, he says
I’m sorry I ruined your retinas
with my high-beam brakelight eyes
when I met you in your garden
again, scaring the shit out of you
for which I am also sorry
but babe, I flew a stolen sofa and TV to the TNT plant
and I rented a movie on sasquatch
just for us
please reconsider
becuase in the future, I predict we’ll be together

forever

Don’t leave me flyin’ and cryin’,

-Mothman
