Prescription

17 May 2026

My Snookums, I have to confess,

I renew your prescription every day.

I fill your prescription to ensure my long-term success.

No word of a lie, I am so happy to say…

I sincerely love you for making an honest man of me.

And I want to dispense enough of your medication,

To share the profound truth of what's in my heart.

So, I’m giving you an unlimited refill of your prescription.

Ohh, I recall our first date like it was yesterday,

You said, “Tell me about you.”

So, cliché, I said, “Well, I like walks on the beach.”

All while knowing this wasn’t exactly true.

You pointed to the note you had set on the table.

Curious, I wondered if this was all part of a plan.

Then I read it, and I realized it was a prescription.

“Love --- To be filled by one honest man.”

Immediately, I could see it in your eyes,

That you knew what I said wasn't true.

Oh my, I said. I don’t know why I lied,

I guess I thought I needed to impress you.

I can still hear your answer.

This prescription can't be filled by a pharmacy of lies.

So, let's try again, and honestly tell me who you are,

Just know, lies are something I despise.

Well, your prescription was just what the doctor ordered,

As I lay there that night, I formed a new conviction.

By telling me to be truthful, you set me free to be me.

And I bless the day I first read your prescription.

I sincerely love you for making an honest man of me.

And I want to dispense enough of your medication,

To share the profound truth of what's in my heart.

So, I’m giving you an unlimited refill of your prescription.

And Snookums, I was wondering ---

Is now a good time to take your medication?

Honestly,

I have this deep need to fill your prescription.
