Two boys, one quarry
One secret, one car
Bright stars shining over a hill afar
“There’s a look in your eye, what does it mean?”
So new, so recent, so caring, so bright
He kissed him a bit, then kissed him some more
“I’ll tell you one day”, he promised, he swore
A touch, a kiss
A whisper, a sigh
Two boys in a car under the veiled night sky
“There it is again, that look in your eye”,
So gentle, so sweet, so touching, so far
“What does it mean?” he asked, he sung
“It means tomorrow”, the other begun
A house, a promise
A date, a hug
A forbidden love so sweet, so snug
“Your eyes today, what do they mean?”
So small, so pretty, so filling, so close
He huffed a laugh, as if hearing a joke
“It means the ocean” he gently spoke
A year, a month
A week, a day
3 words so simple yet so hard to say
“What do they mean today? Your eyes?”
So simple, so wishful, so calm, so blue
The other relaxed, it had been a while
“It means forever”, he said with a smile
A gate, a team
A monster, a clue
A friend, a lover, now something too new
“Tell me what it is that your eyes mean today”
So dark, so broken, so empty, so hurt
It roared and laughed, used his body to speak
“Nothing,” it shouted, “he thinks you’re a freak”
A fight, a battle
A win, a loss
Two boys become one, a life too soon lost
“Why is it there? That look in your eye?”
He asked, he screamed, he begged, he cried
“Because I love you”
I love you
It’s always been you
“It’s me, I’m here, I love you too”
One boy, one heart,
One promise, one tear
A love gone with the ocean, so blue, so clear
