"I love you,"

He cried silently.

The other boy

Just looked on sadly.

His heart

Oh how it broke

He wished

That he could

Return the others

Feelings.

But they say

That once you fall

You will never

Be able to rise.

His father

Would not approve

Of this relationship

His friends

Would shun him.

But what would it matter?

For the only support

He needed

Was the boy

In front of him.

But

Social standings

Stood in their way

Along with forbidden love

Comes heartbreak.

The two fates

Destined to never intwine.

Cried their hearts out

Until the day they died.

The other boy

Never got to say

The words that resonated in his mind

The words he was never allowed to replicate.

"I love you too."
