Eighty-six Must Be Our Secret Number
Eighty-six must be our secret numberTo say we are in love among a crowd.
We are one whenever we're together,
Though we daren't mention it out loud.
We giggle at the same idea unspoken
And smile in simultaneous disdain,
Existing in a single cell unbroken,
Two nuclei alike in joy and pain.
Outwardly we are just closest friends
Because we do not wish to cause distress.
But when we're grown, the fairy tale ends
As we come out in more authentic dress.
Meanwhile we're ourselves in secrecy,
Our silence merely adding to our glee.

Being gay is just like being human:Even if you want it, you can't choose.In everyone, beneath the day's confusion,Night waits with truths too salient to refuse.Grant me, then, a moment's understanding,Given that I've given you much pain.All that's passed between us notwithstanding,Yet I would be close to you again.
