Just One

 


Just have one, we won’t tell a soul.
You can keep counting up the hours and days and weeks.
We swear we won’t say a thing.
We can’t imagine how hard it is;
How hard it’ll get.
One will make you feel better. You’ll lighten up.
Loosen up.
Just have one. It doesn’t have to be anything crazy.
What do you say?
We can grab one for you. You won’t have to lift a finger.
We’ll walk right inside and grab one for you and bring it to you.
You won’t have to move. Not one muscle.
We won’t judge.
Look, we’re having one. We’ve had more than one and we’re fine.
It helps us deal with him; with all of this.
It can help you, too.
If you just have one.
