The Narrative

Are you listening?

This will take a couple of listens

I really hope you're listening

After this it's your decision

I know I've made a few mistakes

It's always the way

With the one that got away

Can we change the narrative?

Remember us?

Can you just imagine it?

Your love for me is imperative

Can you just imagine it?

Will you let me know if I'm forgiven?

I really hope I'm forgiven

I know I've made a few mistakes

It's always the way with the one that got away

Can we change the narrative?

Remember us?

Can you just imagine it?

Your love for me is imperative

Can you just imagine it?

    This is nice. I'd think about changing: "I really hope you're listening" to something like: I hope you can hear. Just because of the redundancy of the word listening. You may want to try something like this with an experimental structure. With the lines that answer back what if they were right justified? Visually some tet a tet may be a way to show this interaction.
