I used to know two boys who were in love
The way they looked at each other
It was as if gravity didn’t exist
But rather the force of love
That held them to this earth
I used to know two boys who were in love
But in time they were forced to hide the love
No more affection, touches, heart eyes,
Nothing was allowed.
For if they came out,
Their career would go down.
I used to know two boys who were in love
Upon being forced to hide
Their speech was taken away as well
It was no surprise that their skin became a story to tell
I used to know two boys who were in love
There was no escape for it all
Against all their pleas,
They couldn’t be free.
One day, it was all in the news
Two boys took their lives
Why you ask?
Because they had hope for freedom in the heaven skies
Those two boys who took their lives?
Those were the two boys I used to know
Who were in love
And, I know, still are.
