Can You Handle Me?
The ultimate question
in a relationship
or a possible relationship
or if you're ever gonna get up to bat
and have a shot at a relationship is:
can you handle me?
can I handle you?
when the world is quiet,
when the house is dark,
when it's just us,
when the psychology of our past is evident,
when I find out you don't eat the crust from your pizza?
when you find out I'm a freak,
can you handle me?
Can I handle you?
my experience
through hell and back
with parts of me
still on fire,
is:
yes,
yes,
when truly in love,
yes.
