Gentle Love

Written on 11/11/14 about the difficulty of a gay relationship

They tell us we can't be together

That it's not natural

That it's weird

But do they know how this feel

That soothing comfort

of your arms around me

The delicate exchange of heat

Of our bodies pressed together

We're just lying there

fingers intertwined

Staring into each other's eyes

lost in space

Others have been so superficial

They only want my flesh

He only really wants my spirit

to know who I am

Have other things happened?

Of course they have

We're human

But it came from the most gentle love

love

That's really all there is

That's all you're seeing

Intense attraction...from eye to eye
