All mah life, Ah've only wanted somebody to show me love. Ah know it sounds sappy and like Ah'm feelin' sorry for mahself, but it's true. Ah've been on th' run evah since Ah put Cody in a coma just by kissing th' dear, sweet boy. Ah ran from mah own family, 'cause Ah knew they wouldn't understand. Ah'd been loved up until that point, but Ah knew from then on, that Ah'd only evah be a monster to them if they found out what Ah did.
So Ah ran. Ah ran from them to Mystique, an' Ah thought Ah could find love there. Ah was wrong. Momma tries hard, but that woman don't know how to love. If she did, she never would've made me fight Miss Marvel so hard that now Ah ain't evah gonna get her outta mah head.
Still, Ah only wanna be loved, an' that love ain't comin' from Gumbo. All that Cajun wants is t' get in mah pants.
But Ah did know love for just a little while. Ah knew it one Summer on a river bank when one o' mah few real friends took me in her arms. Ah knew it then when she sacrificed herself for me, an' Ah've wanted it back evah since. Ah don't know if Ah'll evah get her back in mah arms, but Ah'll nevah stop wantin' her - me an' about half th' guys on that've evah worn th' X. Ah sure know how to pick 'em.
The End
