Hold my hand

Two people in love,

That's all we really were,

Two kids looking for acceptance into the world of hate and judgment .

People called us names and it hurt us.

They threw sticks and stones but never broke our bones.

They wanted us to suffer, so we fled,

It was a flight or fight reaction as we both knew what to do.

You reached out for help and I held your hand.

Together,

We fought our war by walking away listening to them yell.

I never knew we could be happy,

I'm glad I can call you my best friend.
