I imagine you coming to see me
Under unfortunate circumstances
Maybe I'll fall terribly ill
Not terminal, I don't want to die yet
Just so ill you think I might die
Or I get knocked down by a car
You know, dire but not dead
Not even handicapped
I won't lose a limb, nothing like that
I'm vain, I know
I want you to still find me cute
I picture you approaching...
While I'm in the company of friends
And family, you know who they are
Maybe one of them put you up to it
I'm cheesy that way
Like some rom-com movie
Maybe I'll look away
Still mad at you, still hurt
I'd like to think that I'll give you a hard time
I want you to want to pursue me
Like you did before
Only this time I won't be easily persuaded
I won't be lured by the twinkle in your eyes
Or the silk in your voice
But the truth is...
If this ever played out for real
I have no doubt I'd crumble just by your mere presence
I would want to cup your face in my hands
And ask you, "Hey, how have you been? Are you OK?"
I still want to be that person to you
As long as you're well, I'll be too
