A Tale of Two Boys

I see you watching,
 
brown eyes reflected in the sunlight,
 
hair dripped by the light rain
 
and as you come closer, you slip your hand into mine.
 
As I rest my head against your shoulder,
 
and you rest your head against mine,
 
we begin to walk
 
side by side
 
simultaneously through the crowds.
 
Viewers watch in disgust
 
and you only draw me closer, aware of what is around us
 
but careless
 
because we are together
 
and everything seems picture-perfect.
 
We make it to a large oak tree
 
and rest against its strong base and nestle under its shade
 
we are protected
 
and I rest my head on your chest
 
feel you breathing
 
and am thankful that have this moment together.
 
I turn to you, and we look into each other??s eyes
 
twinkling, glistening, and shining
 
you are the most beautiful picture
 
a masterpiece
 
and as our lips touch, I can tell this feels so perfect,
 
like it was meant to be
 
you and me
 
together.
 
I can feel my spirit
 
floating freely with yours
 
in a place unimaginable
 
but filled with love
 
and as we head back through the crowds
 
and see the faces of distaste
 
we float back into the world
 
only to escape in the arms of each other
 
once again.
