I have a job for you. 
I need you to convince me to not do it.
I need you to hold me back.
Absolutely no slack. 

I need you to convince me, not to
ram a truck into another fuel truck
for the next time you save a dying puppy.
You look like a badass walking away
from the line of fire.
Could I please be your squire?

I need you to convince me, not to
buy a glass jar, 
Charter a British jetstream,
Fly to Norway and, 
capture the Northern light-stream.
LEDs are too mainstream.

I need you to convince me, not to
squeal like a pig
from the corner of an evangelist crowd.
Cover your eyes. Too much bling.
I never knew being, "World's sassiest bum east of Mumbai" was a thing.

I need you to convince me
because that's what you're good at. 
Convincing and Me.
You're good to me.
I guess that's more than anyone could hope for.

Also,
I need you to convince me, 
not to be cheesy.
I love you.
