i'll never know unless i ask
to make a judgment in character
who i am and what i love
for faith in asking never hurt
analyzing all of my questions
for validity in your words
yes or no are automatic disqualifications
allowance for a scale of answers
and maybe i'll be looked upon favorably
the general, the wiser
all i ask is that you listen to me just this once I'll never ask again anything of you save for this one request
take your time but let your answer be yes
don't let me down
don't fail me now
i haven't trusted you
but you must come through for me
give me an answer
