MARIANNE
You say the stupidest things. Sometimes I cry and sometimes I get mad. Sometimes it makes me laugh. But no matter what you say, I always want to hear your voice; Because when you say something good, it’s so very good; When you say something funny, I always smile and feel happy again; And you’re the only guy who doesn’t feel sorry for me; You don’t pity the blind girl, I’m even sure that you know I can’t see; And that’s the nicest feeling, knowing that you don’t care that you see me for something else beside the blind girl. You see me as a woman and I love feeling like a woman with you. I love the way you sniff my hair when you get near...
(She gets worked up and turned on)
I love the way you breathe on me when we get too close... I love…
(She gets embarrassed and fans herself)
(She gets embarrassed and fans herself)
This gets kind of personal so I'll skip to the last part.
(She takes a deep breath and collects herself and gets herself to finish)
So I can forgive you every time you do something dumb, because all the things you do right are so very right and I feel more alive because of you.
