\nso much I let you be
\nthe bigger<\/em> person here.
\nI didn’t bark
\nas if to say, “What? Why are you home
\nso early?”
\nI just looked at you
\nsquare in the eye
\nto let you know how much
\nI deserve to be told
\nto get off the table
\n(even though it is
\na much better vantage point
\nto keep guard over that back window)
\nand because I love the sound of
\nyour voice. Especially
\nwhen you say my name,
\nor the word “treats.”<\/p>\n
\nfor you,
\nthen you’ll just wipe
\noff the table
\nand let me sleep in your lap
\nwhile you watch
\nStranger Things<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
