Ashamed, confused, his parents do not know

He does not know if he should tell them yet

About the other boy that he has met

He loves this boy but cannot let it show

But to his family he is scared to go

From then no comfort he feels he can get

When he attempts to talk he shakes and sweats

He cannot stop, this love’s begun to grow

But secretly his folks know how he feels

They have know his feelings now for a while

They talk about what he is going through

The best of parents know their love is real

They know that he’s grown up he’s not a child

He’s free to love whomever he wants to
