First Base

Hi, hello, I'm not writing this to be cold or condemning, considering I've politely played by your rulebook since the beginning Before you asked and i started giving. Ive struck out twice, me the batter  and you the pitcher; in my foolish,  fumbled,and friendly attempts To better understand the  image you present. Seriously, please note i barley made  it to the fourth inning before,  you chose not to revise the words  you were sending.  They suddenly Slammed  me back to first base  eyes carelessly cartwheeling  In the story you  were spinning. You typed me out like i was some  kinda naive second hand stalker,  while i was attempting  to be a silly sweet  smooth talker. I've apologized post haste for my part  that left us in this awkward place.  I implore to articulate how do i wipe the slate clean? Just name the time and space Where i can play my role to your pace Id like to pleasantly convince you  That i clearly know my place.
