The Truth

Magenta

My stomache was filled with butterflies as I ran down to the library where I had first met Scamp.

Let's go back

Back to the beginning

He had given me a feeling that I had never experienced, not even with Tanner, my x-boyfriend.

Back to where the earth the sun the stars all aligned

When I got there, he was already there waiting for me.

'Cause perfect didn't feel so perfect

Trying to fit a square into a circle

Was no life

"Hey." he said to me, "Ready?"

I defy

I smiled at him and replied, " Yep!" I had decided earlier that day that I was gonna tell him that I loved him.

He took me down an alley. I sniffed the air. Something smelled really good! I looked up, and saw a big sign on top of the building. It said "Tony's". Inside, I saw a fat man and a little skinny man making spaggetti.

Let the rain fall down

And wake my dreams

Let it wash away

My sanity

Scamp walked up to the door. He barked and scratched the door.

'Cause I wanna feel the thunder

I wanna scream

Let the rain fall down

I'm coming clean, I'm coming clean

Then the big man, whose name was Tony, came out and said, " Oh, it'sa Butch's litle sona Scamp!" He looked at me, and smiled. Then he called the skinny man and said, " They needa some spaggetti pronto!"

I'm shedding

Shedding every color

"He's gonna get us some food, kay?" Scamp whispered to me.

Trying to find a pigment of truth

Beneath my skin

I smiled and nodded silently.

Cause different

Doesn't feel so different

Tony went inside the restraunt and came out with a steaming plate of spaggetti. Scamp and I grinned and licked our chops. We sat down and prepared to chow down.

And going out is better than always staying in

A sudden gust of wind blew me into Scamp's arms.

Feel the wind

He smiled down at me and I blushed.

I'm coming clean

Let the rain fall

Let the rain fall

I'm coming clean

Then I rememberd that I had planned on telling Scamp that I loved him. I took a deep breath and began to speak.

"Scamp?"

Let the rain fall down

And wake my dreams

"Yes?"

Let it wash away

My sanity

"There's something I need to tell you."

"Ok, then. Tell me what's on your mind."

I sighed and replied, " Well, when I met you today, I realized something very important."

Cause I wanna feel the thunder

I wanna scream

Scamp frowned and said, "What?"

"I...uh...I love you."

Let the rain fall down

"You do?" Scamp asked, totally shocked.

"Yes."

"Oh, Magenta, that's wonderful to know, because I love you too." Scamp cried, and hugged me.

I'm coming clean, I'm coming clean

Scamp pulled me into a kiss. I blushed, and returned it.

Let's go back

Back to the beginning
