If I had to be honest with myself, I wanted to be married. Who wouldn't want a cute little wife with a dozen kids? Enough to have my own baseball team.
/Heart beats fast/
And if I had to be honest, I wanted a cute little wife and sons I could teach to play baseball.
/Colors and promises/
And if I had to be honest...
/How to be brave/
I've been looking. Waiting. Hoping. Wishing for a princess that needs my protection.
/How can I love when I'm afraid... to... fall/
Honestly, who dreams up this stuff? I've met many princesses. Cute. Delicate. In distress in need of a protector. Appreciative of a savior.
/Watching you stand alone/
But the Dragon (with green eyes) isn't here to capture them. He makes sure they don't capture me.
/All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow/
And if I was still being honest... maybe...
/One step closer.../
Maybe... honestly... that's not so horrible.
/I have died everyday waiting for you/
/Darling, don't be afraid/
/I have loved you for a thousand years/
/I'll love you for a thousand more/
"What's with that look!?"
"What look?"
"You're looking at me... funny."
"I'm not!"
"Liar!"
Honestly, it hurts that you stopped claiming I was a cheater. Did it stop mattering?
/Time stands still/
"That look!"
"Maybe I like what I'm looking at?" But honestly, Wolfram, I could spend the rest of my life looking at you.
"Idiot!"
Yes I am. "You're blushing!" Not Cutely. Not Delicately. Passionately blushing.
"I am not!"
"Now who's the liar?"
/Beauty in all he is/
"Well, since you have nothing better to do than watch me, then take up a sword and watch as I thrash you into the next kingdom!"
"Then what will we do on our honeymoon?"
/I will be brave/
Yeah I probably deserved the lunge that came. He's sweaty, dirty, and PISSED. But... he's also focused on me now. Not his troops.
/I will not let anything... take... away/
/Standing in front of me/
I was soundly thrashed. But it took longer than it would have a year ago. He's trembling from the extra exertion it takes now. And he'll remember the bruises I give him as mine.
/Every breath/
He's panting.
"Dear, Wolfram, am I so breathtaking to you?"
"Idiot!"
He stormed off after smacking my face with the hilt of his sword.
/Every hour has come to this./
After tending to my bruise, Conrad dismissed Wolfram's troops.
"Your Majesty," I stopped correcting him long ago, "provoking Wolfram..."
/One step closer.../
He couldn't finish his thought as protective older brother without stepping over the line of political disrespect. He didn't need to.
/I have died everyday waiting for you/
Darling, don't be afraid/
/I have loved you for a thousand years/
/I'll love you for a thousand more/
"I've been doing a lot of thinking lately, Conrad. That is all I can say at this time."
"Then that is more than enough. Thank you, your Majesty."
I'm not sure if I'm ready to be completely and totally honest.
/One step closer.../
But what I can say is that it's not so bad being guarded by a green eyed Dragon.
/One step closer.../
And admittedly, there could never be a wife cuter than Wolfram.
/And all along I believed I would find you/
/Time has brought your heart to me/
/I have loved you for a thousand years/
/I'll love you for a thousand more/
