Just a Poem

most people would say,
how foolish it is to be gay.
one smiles all the time
its not like one can’t plainly see,
the pain and hurt they hide inside while smiling so carefree.
but my friend I smile not to hide
I smile out of pride.
I love thee.
when I lay my head down at night
I suddenly am over come with fright.
fear that I might loose you,
but I think wait where would u go?
if this is so true that u must leave me one day
it would not be willingly for you have told me so.
my heart is racing now 
fast and furiously,
uncertain of the heart ache and pain
I scream your name in vain!
I scream not knowing if this love is true 
I scream because I can not kiss you
I then stop
dead in my tracks I stare
into the darkness 
and THERE!
I see your soft smile and gentle eyes
looking at me with that promise you will not compromise
our love is not something you can throw away
and you are here to stay 
most do not see
do not see the change you have made in me.
but my friend you have made this miraculous change 
a change I want to stay.
one of hope and dreams that soar
high above my head
I love thee oh how I love thee
with ever lasting soul.
