The Papers
I would call you the one who got away, but I never had the courage to chase you.
We didn't have a wedding
You didn't give me a ring
We just signed the papers
First we walked
Then we took the subway
We talked
We went to the museum
And we held hands
Your hand was warm
You said mine was cold
But you can't care for me like I care for you
And even if you were
I wouldn't make you choose between me
And your family
So why do I keep asking
What if all my family cared about was whether you cared for me like I cared for you?
I don't want a wedding
I don't want a ring
What if we just signed the papers
And we walked
And we took the subway
Then we talked
And we went to the museum
And we held hands
Your hand was warm
Your hand warmed mine
And I didn't open my eyes.
