Over the next few days Ricky was spending more and more time writing in his notepad. I wanted to know what he was working so hard on, but didn't want to ask again. He would tell me when he was ready, hopefully it was sooner rather than later.
Ricky came in after lunch, smiling like an idiot. He held his notepad to his chest and sat me down.
"I wrote a song for you, I really want you to listen to it before anyone else does."
"I would love to listen to it" I said, trying to hide the fact that I was blushing. "What is the song called?"
"Falling Awake" Ricky said confidently.
Ricky cleared his throat and began to sing.
" That was then but this is now
What's really changed
Black is black and white's still white
And gray is a waste
I don't mind, to my own time
And I see her again
Now I fall to her eyes
I'll see you on the way down
She's got me falling, oho
She's got me crawling, oho
She's got me falling, oho
Falling awake
She's got me falling, oho
She's got me crawling, oho
She's got me falling, oho
Falling awake
Pick it, put it away
I'll never find it again
I was right to take you back
I see you at the hay stacks
I could see wild ones
Falling obsolete
In the dark, touching my chest
I see you on the way down
She's got me falling, oho
She's got me crawling, oho
She's got me falling, oho
Falling awake
She's got me falling, oho
She's got me crawling, oho
She's got me falling, oho
Falling awake
I'm falling, I'm falling
I'm Falling awake
You got me Falling awake
I'm falling, I'm falling
I'm Falling awake
You got me Falling awake!
She's got me falling, oho
She's got me crawling, oho
She's got me falling, oho
Falling awake
She's got me falling, oho
She's got me crawling, oho
She's got me falling, oho
Falling awake"
He finished singing and looked at me nervously. I didn't know what to say for awhile afterwards.
"I wanted to make sure it was okay before I sang it to you." Ricky said, breaking the silence.
"Its perfect."
