You say you love me, but do you really?
Even when I behave willy nilly?
(I have a tendency to be silly)

I apologize in advance for calling you Stan.
Perhaps if you loved me just a little bit less
I would be encouraged to be less of a mess?
Although it would definitely increase the stress...
So I guess for now just let things be.
After all, we've planted a tree.
Here's coming a better version of me!
