You never met my love.
Before I’d found my heart
you were gone.
I was so late arriving
and you so early leaving,
you never met my love.
I never had to explain the hurt,
the loneliness, the tyranny of the closet.
I never had the chance.
I never had to convince you of
the value of my love.
I never had the chance
And when I finally found my love,
I never knew if you’d approve
YOU never had the chance.
Would you have loved my lover too
if you’d ever met my love,
if you’d ever had that chance?
