I am the 1 to your 8
It just took a single date
Then half a century passed
Now we meet again at last
Do you remember the crosswalk on which I proposed to you,
and you excused yourself?
Sometimes I wait there imagining different outcomes
It's good for my mental health
You know we're both getting old
The credits already rolled
Now it is time to commence
This ring was quite an expense
Damn every neural encodement inside of my cranium, or however that works
Damn every fragment of memory that has enshrined you
I am not going berserk
You do
You do
Give me your hand just exactly as planned
and then everything will be as it should be
I will excuse all the decades of gross infidelity
If you do "I do" with me
I do with me, I do with me
