Suddenly it mattered
Though it happened slowly
Like a leaf falling without a breeze
But it finally hit the ground

That is how realization works
You wonder how it started
And what took so long
But one day everything changes

It’s almost like taking up smoking
Adults don’t do that
But some do
It’s because they’re tired
It's time to try something new

But you have no power
Just commitments
And they are in your blood
So now the test begins

Now you’re in a movie
Playing a part
It’s not for love
Though in a way it is

But to be without guard
To think as only in a garden
Is to be without shoes
As you walk down the aisle

It’s almost like praying for forgiveness
But what can you expect
To suppress your nature
When it finally blooms
Is to know how hard it is to be true
