Just as long as vision lasts
I must answer "Yes" to truth
But I wish it weren't so hard. I … have a boyfriend. I love him, don't I? If I can't be truthful to myself, how can I be truthful to anyone else? But if I don't love him … why? Why not? He's the best boyfriend. My mom loves him, he loves me … and … I … love him. Don't I???
In my dream and in my dark
Always that elusive spark
The spark isn't there anymore. I'm not sure it ever was. Just the "first boyfriend," "true love." I did love him, though, I know I did. But … there's always him. The diner boy. My mom hates him. But she doesn't know … know what? How do I feel? There's something there …
If they ask what I did well…
There's only one thing to do … And I have to do it now, before I lose my nerve, or I'll regret not doing it for the rest of my life. Here I am. I'm out the window, jogging towards the diner. I can only hope he feels the same way …
Tell them I said "Yes" to truth.
