Taking one out of the box hidden in the usual place.
I rip open the plastic wrapper with an innocent look.
You look at me bitterly,
"You don't have to use one, you know?"
Though you may say extreme things like that,
I love you. You're important to me.
I probably wouldn't regret it, but.
We still need time to warm up.
So we can share today too, "I'm putting it on."
Just putting it in and pulling it out, repeating the simple process.
After I'm done, I tie it tightly around the middle.
You sigh at my endless cleaning,
"Can't I just take the pill?"
Though you may say rude things like that,
Everyone has a different way to say "I love you".
If you look, you'll probably find a lot.
So now, even if our way might be wrong,
Over and over again,
I love you. You're important to me.
I'm thinking about the future.
So until that day comes someday,
From now on, like always, "I'm putting it on."
