Just Know This

Drinking wine, picture of us
You, me, our fuzzy stray.
E-Frame shows more, fill my glass.
Us at the beach -- great day.
Packed and ready to go,
Why stay? Nothing to gain.
Leave the fancy corkscrew,
But I will take the frame.

Just know this -- I saw you caress her hair,
Just know this -- my stuff's out, key's in our door,
Just know this -- you've felt our last slow dance
I don't want -- or need you anymore.
I still care -- Sunday morning, lounging, laughing,
Just know this -- in your hugs I always grin.
Just know this -- I can love you while I hate you,
Just know this -- knock on my door? I'll let you in.

Drinking wine, new apartment,
Frame on kitchen table.
Flip it down, then back up,
Stop watching? Just unable.
I thought things now would change,
But new place, same old weather.
Fuzzy purrs in my lap,
Frame plays our life together.

Just know this -- I've seen her in our house,
Just know this -- You can't do better than me,
Just know this -- mother was right about you,
It feels good -- my days are all mine and free.
I still want -- to see you arms out, smiling
Just know this -- I miss gently scratching your chin.
Just know this -- I can love you while I hate you,
Just know this -- knock on my door? I'll let you in.

Flip the frame up. -- Sunday mornings!
Flip the frame down. -- You touch her hair!
Flip the frame up. -- When you held me.
Flip the frame down. -- Why don't you care?

Just know this -- I'm tired of fighting me,
Just know this -- One day finish, next day start.
Just know this -- I'm happy, heart-broke, angry
I can't stand -- how loving you pulls me apart
I'll still feel -- a need to hold you,
Just know this -- tell me, I'll begin again.
Just know this -- I can love you while I hate you,
Just know this -- knock on my door? I'll always let you in.
