Put Your Seat Belt On
January 25, 2016
Put your seat belt on.
I love you.
That sound that your car makes when you’re unbuckled is annoying.
I can’t imagine you getting hurt.
Stop being so stubborn.
I need you here.
My ears are bleeding.
My eyes are tearing up.
You won’t be able to play football if your body gets thrown out of your car.
I won’t be able to watch you.
I know that your house is only five minutes away.
Five minutes, anything can happen to you, to us, in five minutes.
Just put it on that noise is driving me insane.
I can’t live life knowing that I survived and you. . .
I know it’s not a big deal but that noise is like nails on a chalkboard.
It is a big deal, I can’t lose you.
Put your seat belt on.
I love you.
