The Poet Tries: Untold Love #Wattys2019

#6- John Is Also For Adam

We always do things together.
Sometimes, people misinterpret the relationship we have.
We always laugh at those times.
We didn't care about what they said as long as we were fine.

There was a time when you invited me to have a dinner at your house.
Your mom kissed me as if I were her son and not you.
She thought of me as your friend.
I didn't protest, I didn't clear things.
Sighing, I took a seat.

It was a cold night,
Tita called me to take care of you because you had a fever.
I was so worried that I missed a step on the stairs,
Luckily I didn't get hurt.

I was gently stroking your hair,
When you opened your eyes;
You said, 'I love you,' and then kissed me.
Little did they know our love was a secret—some thought as forbidden.

When you listen to a song,
You fell in love with the song, itself.
Regardless whether the composer was a male or female.
The same with people.
You fall in love with their beauty, their totality, not with their gender
