Santana: “So wait I don’t even get a say on this? Not Cool.”
“Do you realize you’re basically forcing me right out of the flannel closet?”
Why did Finn suddenly become the hero who cares about Santana? No apology from him to send the message that forcing someone out of the closet isn’t ok? None? Ok. White straight male rules!
It’s true that I may not be
as thick around the arms,
or as full in the chest,
but I know the sound
of you as you fall asleep,
the pattern of your breath,
and I watch you through
the paper-slit of my eye
where I see only love for you,
I watch you while you fall asleep,
so vulnerable for a strong man,
and when your breath is even
I know you are sleeping
and I watch, not waking you,
keeping harm from you.This is how I protect you.
When I see you smile, it feels like I’m falling.
It’s not for anybody else to know, the way your face could light
the bitter dark of every street in every town I’ll ever go.
It’s not for anybody else to know, for anybody else to know.
When I see you smile first thing in the morning
it raises curtains on your lazy eyes. Could it be that you and I
have the greatest love to ever be? How could this have ever been before?
It’s not for anybody else to know, for anybody else to know.
When Friday night arrives, we’ll let it pass outside the door.
This is not for anybody else, anybody else to know.
