Okay

She hurt deep within, writhing in pain,
for a man she once knew was now entering her past.
Don't become a stranger she warned him, hoping he would never.
'Okay' he said, promising never in forever.

'Okay' was all they were, even when they were the present.
"Lets not worry about the future okay? We're fine now aren't we?"
"Yes, we're okay"

But 'Okay' was not to be settled for , this they learned much later.
The future gave 'okay' a more unsure meaning, okay was not enough, they wanted more.
"Where do we stand now?"
Sadly, all they got was... "Wherever we are, we're okay"

Maybe they should have been "great" or "amazing"
or maybe one of them should have just said it: "in love".
Cause that's what they were.
But 'okay' made it all seem okay.

And when okay saw its new avatar 'K',
That's when turning into strangers seemed absolutely okay.
But truth be told, okay was never enough. 'Okay' was inadequate.
And 'K' was an understatement to inadequacy.
