I'm really strung out here, I need something, not a lot, just a little taste, just enough to hold me over, can ya help me out, please?

All I need is one lousy tilde until I can scrape some ends together and go see my "guy".  Or maybe a couple tildes, you know how hard it is to get ahold of him sometimes.  Wait, wait, wait, wait, I think I'm going to need a few of them because I'm in pain over here, I'm sick, that's all, I'm really hurting over here. You know I wouldn't ordinarily ask you if it's just an everyday thing, but this is different, I haven't scored in over a week. My guy doesn't accept credit and I'm kind of short this month. Listen, let me hold a whole handful of them, say a week's supply, and it'll take care of me. Come on, you've probably got plenty of them and you know I'm good for it. You can trust me, just think of how long we go back together.  You won't let me down, I know you won't.
