when I saw you

don’t ask me what year I was born
I can make myself look much younger
I never really got old
maybe woke up one day a little beaten
and ridden
we both know I was looking for you too hard
for too long
in all the wrong women

don’t ask me how sick I am because I promise
I will always walk straight when in pain
pretend to look for a cab
coffee shop or dress that
you will wear for me and my whole world
suddenly cured

and never ask me what we can or can’t afford
because if I am too poor
my son and your son
will bring you the whole Universe from me
which is what I got
when I saw you
