Where do i sign?
I hastily grab for a pen,
Thinking of the joy this will bring,
Thinking of how this will bring me closer to you.

But;
You always seem to miss the fine print;
The part that says,

1.2.22
"May cause emotional instability"

1.2.35
"May cheat on you"

1.3.5
"May ruin part of who you are"

They don't point out.
That you're locked in no matter what.
The emotional train wreck at the end.
The torment of seeing their face when you close your eyes.

The fact that you will never come home.

I enjoyed the simplicity and the cleverness. I think everyone chooses to look past the fine print, we never realize that what seems too good to be true really is.
