The Question
The night is time for thinking,
As cold and heartless as it is,
This is when my mind springs to life,
Bursting with all my unanswered questions,
Why am I such an outsider?
It has always been this way,
Since the day I saw my parents last,
And you came into my life,
Having made a human mistake,
Who knew you'd become my friend?
I was always grateful for you,
When no one else believed in me,
You made it seem like I was worth something,
Even though I never did,
How did you always know the right thing to say?
The years may not have been kind,
We both have taken beatings,
But we've always pulled through,
The years have made us strong,
Oh, where did the time go?
I'm starting to find myself,
In this enchanted forest,
Where your brothers sing only for you and me,
And the stars shine bright like fireflies,
What are these feelings doing to me?
They cannot be real,
My kisses were meant for a girl,
The girl I've tried to love,
I just can't deny it anymore as I ponder,
Does God hate me?
No true love's kiss can break this curse,
Even though my heart beats fast,
As you sit on my shoulder,
Like you always do and I long to ask,
Do you feel the same about me?
There's something in me,
That aches for your child,
As I daydream of our wedding day,
But I never knew that this was possible,
Can a man really love a cricket?
I see you with fear on your face,
Just don't say this is wrong,
Because I already know,
I don't care now as long as you say yes,
Will you marry me Jiminy?
