Response to 47.08
47.08) Like a fish plucked from the ocean
Tossed into a foreign stream
Always knew that I was different
Often fled into a dream
I ignored the raging currents
Right against the tide I swam
But I floated with the question
Who will love me as I am?
(from "Side Show")
Am I a fish? no. Have I felt different? Yeah. I mean growing up where I did, with who I did, of course I felt different. Who wouldn't? I wanted to be a cop even though my father hated cops, even though my friends at school had father's in the mob. That's different.
I tried to fit in then but I couldn't. I ended up just being on my own, I didn't plan it like that, I mean who does. I had dreams, I may have told them to anybody but I had them. I didn't want people to think I was different. I knew I was but I didn't want them to know that. So I didn't tell anyone about my dreams.
One of those dreams was to be a cop. I finally made that one come true. I got married but Angie, well Angie was a dream that ended I guess. I didn't think anybody understood me until Fraser came along. It's not like we have everything in common, but we have more than people think. More than that he likes me. He likes me. He doesn't care about me being different Having a friend like him is one dream come true.
Yeah I'm a sap. I know.
