are you ready to marry me
not in the least - not then, not
now, not ever, i know the trick
marry and die - never marry
never die - simple as that
your logic is flawed, he said
typical of a woman - so marry
me
such a laugh - we laughed again
we always laugh when he asks
and we always laugh when i answer
yet the air is thick - the timing off
another life perhaps - this life
we are a joke - we meet to eat
years apart - to tell each other
that life is not so bad but it is, it is
and for him - it was hard, he lived too hard
