She thinks I'm ok
but she's really looking
for an older guy

Even though
I'm younger than her
I reckon I could be an older guy

So I am planning to
tell her that
she is far too young
to understand all
the complicated things
that go on in my mind

but that we should
get married and have babies
as soon as possible
because at my age
I feel forced to consider
my mortality and think about
the things that really matter
because probably I will die soon
