you are my muse

Dazzling stars sprinkled wherever I look/

But the most magnificent ones/

Are within my favorite sight/

Sugar seasons our tongues/

Sweet candy in golden wrappers is offered from the both of us/

"Michael, be my boyfriend."/

I don't know if it was the sugar high or what/

But I felt right in place saying that/

His sweet tooth had him craving more/

"Of course"/

I wanted to say more, say three more words/

But my appetite was satisfied/

I could tell Michael was still hungry though/

Expecting something/

But the fear of rejection left a bitter taste in my mouth/

The night wasted away too soon/

Time deteriorated but my smile never did/

I had to keep acting like/

I didn't see Michael taking pictures of me/

My boyfriend danced with me in front of the whole restaurant/

And I didn't feel scared/

No one called us names or gave us dirty looks/

I felt like we were the only people in the universe/

Floating endlessly, together, into a new world/

He put his head on my shoulder as we swayed to the live music/

I could tell he was smiling/

Interpretation: Stanza 1 line 3 is referring to Michael's eyes. Stanza 2 is no referring to food/candy but the words the two exchange between one another. The sweet nothings and compliments. Stanza 8 shows how not everyone in the world is a homophobe. Lots of people can recognize true love and be mature about it. Neither of them are ashamed of who they are or who they're in love with.
