I gave my wife the finger
The first day that we met
I might not be Romeo
But she’s my fucking Juliet
The day she said, “I love you”
I had the worst reply
I should have said it back
But all I said was, “Why?”
We are scared but we are willing
Unprepared and unrehearsed
Could be lame or could be thrilling
You go first
Step off the cliff you might start flying
Tell me if you think it’s worse
To be selfish or self-denying
You go first
We’re just like these penguins
That I saw on TV
They crowd at the ice’s edge
Till one falls in the sea
