Floating

tommy and nathan were just two inseparable boys

fond of rebellion and heresy and other noise

they lived in a room in a school in the country somewhere

without a care

tommy liked smoking and laughing and messing around

nathan liked sitting and reading not making a sound

they loved each other like healthy teenagers should

love someone else

not like brothers

but like lovers

they had been told all their lives that these feelings were wrong

they didn't dare tell each other the truth for so long

but with every second it became less easy to bear

taking this care

they could hide plenty of things from their teachers at school

they hardly ever got caught and they broke every rule

but hiding something from each other was harder to

do so well

brushing hands a

blushing matter

what's the matter

what's the matter

what kind of world do we live in

where two people can't tell each other they've fallen in love

'cause of what all the others would say what they'd do the exclusion

the pain and stupidity isn't it tought when those

one every ten have to suffer while everyone

else can enjoy their free fucking in public why

is it that even in this day and age they're beat

down

they can't just say

i love you

i love you

i love you

i love you

i love you

it came out eventually they both knew that it would

stumbled and fast and the consequences weren't good

loving together for sixty small seconds

alone

opposite sides

of a big room

nathan said "we'll never see each other again"

maybe they won't maybe someday but god who knows when
