As a girl, I was quite often asked
The type of boy I would end up to like
But when I first laid my eyes on her
I said pointing, that she was my type
That girl with long and curly hair
That girl with a beautiful smile
That girl, when I would see her
My eyes would gleam with joy
A rose quartz pendant around her neck
With a voice which soothes my soul
My only one, my fragile damsel
How with you, I can't be in love
The perfect girl, the favourite child
The type of boy I would end up to like
But when I first laid my eyes on her
I said pointing, that she was my type
That girl with long and curly hair
That girl with a beautiful smile
That girl, when I would see her
My eyes would gleam with joy
A rose quartz pendant around her neck
With a voice which soothes my soul
My only one, my fragile damsel
How with you, I can't be in love
The perfect girl, the favourite child
For a daughter so good and strong
My mother would end up living in denial
She would wonder what really went wrong
The taboo, the society and me coming out
My mother would end up living in denial
She would wonder what really went wrong
The taboo, the society and me coming out
As I bear, all of my naked soul
I once loved boys, but the story turned around
I think I'd have to change when I grow old
Love is blind, that's what they say
It's just a same gender's pair of lips I'll kiss
I once loved boys, but the story turned around
I think I'd have to change when I grow old
Love is blind, that's what they say
It's just a same gender's pair of lips I'll kiss
Eyes still open wide on lesbians and gays
But I know I'll be living with my bliss
For a love that got out the best in me
The one for which I shed my mask
The homo-phobics may cause me to bleed
But love is a connection of soul and heart
It never saw the age, it never saw the colour
For it has happened beyond all boundaries
It never saw the body, it never saw the gender
For love, it grows out of impossibilities
Thank you so much for the amazing comments!!! :)
