JAY AND I

Note: This is about and for two friends of mine :)


***

You’re sitting on my bed
legs spread wide
I lean back against you
It feels right

You say:
“That day, your dad
He doesn't like you gay
Wanted to help you
Didn't know what to do”

I look at you
“It's all good
I so very much like you.
But I am scared
I need time, are you prepared
to wait for me?”

You smile
You take my hand
“We are young
Plenty of time
We'll prove him wrong”

Your nose in my hair
That's all it is
I like it there
Nothing more, just this.
