Want to meet up? …… Invite me places

Want me to understand you? …… Open your heart to me

Want to know something about me? …… Ask me

Don’t like something? …… Please tell me

Have some advice for me? …… I want it

(I need all the help that I can get)

Have nice thoughts about me? …… Share them with me, in exquisite detail

Want/need something from me? ……. Ask for it

Love me? …… Let me know

(Don’t let anything or anyone stop you)

Thank you.
