Prove it

Want me to believe?

Wait a tad longer .. ?

Then prove it ..

What you say .. and that it’s really you ..

Never thought I’d make demands .. not my style .. I prefer to drop hints ..

Anyways .. time is a healer for broken hearts but it can also be the opposite for full hearts …

Left broken ..

Always said time will tell, quite simply love .. you’ve ran out ..

Only need the heads up .. before my head destroys this completely

If you don’t understand this I guess you will never understand me ..

All or nothing ..

Needs grounding in reality ..

Otherwise .. what is this? Pure fantasy?

Prove it … or not ..

Your call ..

Thomas: Prove it.
Dave: I have a picture, look!
