Hey K,

I should have just married you

You asked me so nicely

I could’ve had everything my own way

You’d go out to work

And I’d stay home and play

Hey K,

I’m a little older now

I see clearly how cruel and hideous the world is

I don’t want to partake in it

And you kindly, offered me a responsibility free island

Hey K,

I see that mostly love is an arrangement of choices

I was blinded you know, by feelings

I should have said yes

I know you’d have never left me

I could have done anything

You would have stuck by me

I always admired your reliability.

Hey K,

I think our marriage would have been a nice little escapism

You were so willing to give me anything

And when I felt out of sorts, irritated and lied or denied you

You forgave me; there was nothing else you could do.

Now I wonder if my justice will be

To find my man and discover that he loves me, just

As much as I loved you

And I’ll be the stupid forlorn love sick female version

Who never argues

He’ll trample all over me;

That would really be a lesson

Yeah,

I bet that’s what he’d do.

Well, you know, if I ever found him

This is all just theoretical posing

Hey K,

I wonder, if I could reverse time

And have once again the chance,

I think the second time around,

knowing what I know, I’d marry you.

I’d turn our house into a museum

Forget all about my quest for the ‘real thing’

And invent hormonal reasons for my lack of participation.

K,

I'd deal with the annoying way you said 'hey' instead of 'hello' 

We both know I could have changed that if I'd really wanted to

I just didn't give enough of a shit about you.

I’m too tired

The world is too harsh

And I need to be protected, mollycoddled and infected

By a man as loyal, well off and forgiving

As you.
