I awoke to an angelic singing voice. "Hey
Don't write yourself off yet
It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on
Just try your best
Try everything you can
And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away
It just takes some time
Little girl, you're in the middle of the ride
Everything, everything will be just fine
Everything, everything will be all right"
I joined in.
"Hey
You know they're all the same
You know you're doing better on your own so don't buy in
Live right now
Just be yourself
It doesn't matter if that's good enough for someone else
It just takes some time
Little girl, you're in the middle of the ride
Everything, everything will be just fine
Everything, everything will be all right"
She looked at me. I put my arm around her and sang the chorus again, but more sincerely.
"It just takes some time
Little girl, you're in the middle of the ride
Everything, everything will be just fine
Everything, everything will be all right"
Her eyes sparkled, she felt my heart. I grinned my trademark crap eating grin. She leaned in and kissed me. A real kiss. She held it for a few seconds before breaking away. Fireworks in my head, stirring in my pants, and a feeling in my heart that this was part of God's plan. I blinked. "You better not make a habit of that or you'll cut your tongue." I put my upper teeth over my bottom lip and went "rawr". She giggled and said, "that's a tall order" before kissing me again.
