Fuck Off! Erm…I mean yes
Fuck off! She said
And his legs turned to lead
Frozen
Was the moment dead?
What if she means to say no?
A giggle
That’s right,
It was only a joke,
Not something I actually said
But no, he meant it
And he was going to say so
I mean it, he said
Will you be my wife?
And stay with me
Until the end of my life?
But what if we live
Till we’re ninety five
And your belly grows fat
And I start to hate all your hats,
The way that you laugh,
The sound of your voice,
And we both forget
This was our choice
Even then, will I still be your wife?
And what about if
I no longer make you laugh,
And the money runs low,
Kids pull at our legs,
You forget I’m not just a Mum
I’m also a wife,
A person,
A friend,
The love of your life
Even then, will I still be your wife?
Yes, he said
Even when your smile becomes tight
And you’re so tired
You barely remember my name
Caroline, Charlotte, PAUL!
When your skin becomes loose
And tinged with the colour blue
And your hair grows grey,
When the lines of your smile
No longer go away,
When there are days
That I forget how you’re
The love of my life;
And that I asked you
To be my wife
On a mountain one night
When everything was perfect
And the timing felt right
Even then I still want you
To be my wife
Fuck off!
She said
On they day they met
Fuck off!
She said
Erm…I mean yes
Go on then
I’ll take your bet
