Forbidden Love

I look in her eyes, And I wonder. What does she see in me? Panic floods my brain. We shouldn’t be doing this. I blush dark red as she touches my hand, While I’m knee-deep in thought. Thought about our future, Thought about our marriage. Thought about our kids. Will we be accepted when they’re older? Old enough to understand, Not everyone has two mothers. Will we finally be acceptable? Or will they shame us, Like they did in high-school. Write on our lockers, “Bull-dyke” I didn’t ask to be this way, But I accept it. I was born gay, I didn’t learn this. She didn’t know she was gay. She thought it was a phase, So she tried to kill herself. I was the only one in the hospital, Right beside her. That’s when she realized. That’s when she knew she loved me. But we can’t show our love. Not just yet. Soon enough, When we can finally get married.
