A Sign Of Hope
Magenta
It had been about a month since Tanner had dumped me. Tanner was a brown dog with dark brown ears, and white eye patches.
When I'm in a crowd
Or on an island by myself
Silent or too loud
Wishing I were somewhere else
I was on my way to the library. I thought that a good mystery might cheer me up. I wasn't watching where I was going, and I crashed into another pup. He looked about my age. He had gray fur and a light gray stomache. His warm brown eyes looked very friendly.
And I can't believe
You hit me fast and hard
When you turn to me and say
"Whoops!" I said, "Sorry!"
The gray puppy smiled. "It's no problem. By the way, my name is Scamp. What's yours?"
Never change the way you are
I smiled. "My name is Magenta."
Trying to catch your eye
Things will never look the same
Scamp grinned. "So Magenta, you from around here?"
"Yes. Are you?"
Now I can't deny
You're the moth and I'm the flame
"Uh huh. You uh...doin anything tonight?"
I blushed. "No. Why?"
There I go again
I should walk before I run
How can I explain
I can't stop what you've begun
Scamp blushed too. "I just thought you might wanna, you know, hang out. I could introduce you to my family if you want."
I'm falling through the door
Flying 'cross the floor
When you look at me suddenly it's clear
I was speechless, so I just nodded.
You're burning up my dreams
Crazy as it seems
I don't wanna be anywhere but here
Anywhere but here
"Ok, I'll meet you here at about, 7:30."
What goes on inside
Is a mystery no doubt
A roller coaster ride
I may never work it out
"Ok." I said as he left, "See you tonight."
Here's the brand new me
Skates around and floats on air
I'm a sight to see
Rainbow colors in my hair
"Later, Magenta." Scamp said, and ran off.
You have set me free
The one who gets me there
As I watched him leave, I got this warm, fuzzy feeling inside.
I'm falling through the door
Flying 'cross the floor
When you look at me suddenly it's clear
I didn't know why, but I was starting to develop a crush on Scamp.
You're burning up my dreams
Crazy as it seems
I thought about it for awhile. What would I do if he turned out to be like Tanner?
I don't wanna be anywhere but here
I decided to tell him tonight. I hoped he would feel the same way.
Anywhere but here
