The moment his lips touched mine, I knew that everything was perfect. I had never thought that it would be so easy to let someone in, but he had an ease...an openess...something that I knew wasn't going away...and I didn't want it to. For once in my life I felt wanted...I felt needed...but most of all...I felt...loved.

Used to be that I believed in something,

Used to be that I believed in love,

It's been a long time since I''ve had that feeling,

I could love someone,

I could trust someone,

I said I'd never let nobody near my heart again, darlin',

I said, I'd never let nobody in,

In that moment, nothing else mattered. I was with him, but I couldn't help feeling scared. It was the strangest thing. I began to tremble like the little school girl I truely was, and oddly, it all felt wonderful. Our kiss finally broke and our lungs finally tasted the sweet oxygen they had been deprived of for so long.

But if you ask me to,

I just might change my mind,

And let you in my life forever,

If you ask me to,

Was I really ready for this committment? I had so much going on in my life...so many possilbe things could go wrong...so many things that have already...any wrong turn and I could find myself falling with no one there to catch me...my life was like a glass vase on the edge of a swinging pendulem...on the verge of destruction...but held there by the slightest strand of hope.

I just might give you my heart,

And stay here in your arms forever,

If you ask me to,

If you ask me to,

I gazed into the mysterious deep blue oceans that were dreamily gazing back into my longing violet gems. I felt as if he were looking right through me. Staring past al of the depression, hurt, dissapointment, and anger...as if he were looking straight into my soul, and I suddeny felt that I was ready to make that committment and I could tell that he felt the same way too.

Somehow ever since I'v been around you,

Can't go back to bein' on my own,

Can't help feeling darling since I've found you,

That I've found my home,

That I'm finally home,

I said I'd never let nobody get too close to me, darlin',

I said I needed, needed to be free,

"Roy, I-I don't know how to say it...I-I've never felt this way about anyone before. I just can't put it into words." My voice was soft and small, but it was obviuosly eough for him becase he quickly responded in his semi-usual manor, "Then it's a good thing you don't have to then, huh?" he then wrapped his arms around my slender waist, protectively and I never wanted him to let go again.

Asked me to, I will give my world to you baby,

I need you now,

Ask me to and I'll do anthing for you baby, for you baby,

I could tell that we would be together for a long time and that we would always have something to talk about and something to learn from each other like the lesson that I had learned from him already. Yea...Roy had already taught me one thing...he had taught me that it was okay to love. And it's a damn good thing too...because I had fallen for him...and I had fallen hard.

If you asked me to,

I'll let you in my life forever,

If you asked me to...

Then I just might say 'yes'...
