Black Roses Red

Can I ask you a question please
Promise you won't laugh at me
Honestly I'm standing here
Afraid I'll be betrayed.
As twisted as it seems, I only fear love when it's in my dreams
So let in the morning light and let the darkness fade away

Can you turn my black roses red?
Can you turn my black roses red?

Drowning in my loneliness
How long must I hold my breath
So much emptiness inside I could fill the deepest sea
I reach to the sky as the moon looks on
One last year has come and gone
It's time to let your love rain down on me

Can you turn my black roses red? (x3)
Cuz I'm feelin like I'll blame it on love (x6)

Can you turn my black roses red? (x3)
Cuz I'm feelin like I'll blame in on love
I'm feeling like I'll blame it on love (until fades)

i think this song has been my theme song for the past 5 weeks ...
it's taken from the soundtrack 4 the movie 'the sisterhood of the traveling pants' ...

so the story goes like this ...
once upon a time ...
there lived a fish in the river called blakie ...
he was swimming along the river bank ...
it wasn't long b4 he caught sight of his mouse friend, jojo ...
jojo, one of blakie's best friends, was looking quite nervous standing at the edge of the river bank ...
"what's wrong, jojo?" blakie called out ...
"i want to go swimming but i'm afraid of the water", jojo answered ...
and this is wat blakie said to jojo ...
"there's nothing to be afraid of, jojo ... look at me, i've been swimming for a very long time ... why don't you jump in the water & hold on 2 my tail ... that way you will be safe ... i promise i won't swim too fast as i don't want to lose you ... you are one of my best friends ... afterall, you do want to swim really badly right?"
yeah but blakie wasn't really thinking when he answered jojo, did he?
just because he told jojo there's nothing to be afraid of, how does jojo know he's telling the truth ... he obviously told her not to be afraid cos that's probably what he thought she wanted to hear ... but why didn't he tell her about the larger fish in the river? did he 4get? or maybe he just thought it was just swimming & other creatures didn't exist in the water when u're swimming & having a good time, tough luck! ... wat happens if he gets distracted and swims off? or if he suddenly didn't feel like having jojo grip his tail 2 swim around anymore ... he didn't think that maybe the current of the waters might change & jojo might lose grip of his tail, which was out of his control ... or jojo would suddenly lose courage & let go of his tail, which he also had no control over ... and just because jojo wants to swim, it didn't mean that she was willing to risk her life just 4 that moment of fun ... sumtimes you hafta weigh the pros & cons ... and just because jojo said she wanted to, doesn't mean she has to ...
