A.D.L


We're all alone just like I planned it.

But -- I'm no bandit, run after I steal your virtue?

I would never try to hurt you.

Just nurture the way I'm supposed to.

I've gotten us alone to tell you what should be,

That -- You and I should be We,

That I feel no other could compete,

No other could compare to the bond we share.

Not putting the next guy down in despair, but the ones before me who lacked the care, to L O V E you properly.

I'm hoping you feel as deeply as I...

This scene, in my head, I've replayed a thousand times.

We're all alone, just like I planned it,

I'm sweating and getting tongue twisted.

Nervous, not to tell you, but of your reply...

So simply I say, could you ever see me and you, you and I, Us in a different light?
