I thought you wanted to wake up
Beside me one day to see my hair
All askew and laugh as I say
Well here's Medusa
I thought you wanted to
Live with me
And make love wildly
I thought you wanted to live
With our cats
And smile as we called each other
Mommy and daddy
I thought we were gonna sign papers
Saying we were legally wed
Me in a white dress with red petals and flowers
And you in your casual tuxedo
I thought one day I'd get to see you actually
Wear a tuxedo
I thought that's what you wanted
I thought you wanted me
My craziness
My love
My laughter and smile
My passion
I know I wanted you,
Your laugh and smile
Your happiness
You in your infinitely silly self
I accepted you
Craziness and all
And I thought one day
My love would triumph
And you'd accept me
But the world comes crashing
And I suppose you let your dreams slip away
While I sit incomplete wishing still,
For them all to come true.
