[bodytext] => Here's a story of two boys To their mothers, proud and joys They were neighbors, and best friends "Until," they promised, "'til the very end." They started high school in the fall And by spring, they knew it all A world of drugs, sex and sports Whatever happened to tag and forts But they remained close despite Separate struggles, separate fights One of them lost their way And called the other on a summer day A white bottle, a shaking voice He believed he had no choice His friend begged him to come around And finally the pills were put down The friend came over, sick with fright The other cried into his shoulder all night It took awhile for him to heal And the other was shocked to feel A compassion, love that demands Something that shouldn't be felt for a man He was too scared to even try So he kept it hidden deep inside. A year passed, he couldn't forget And soon he really did regret A knock on his door, late that night And he answered it; to his delight There stood the man from his dreams Neither could forget, it seems They talked for hours, stayed up all night Felt so great to smile so bright Then it happened, imagine this So suddenly, lips against his His breath caught, he couldn't speak In those arms, he felt so weak They acted well, they didn't show Until the friend said he had to go A hand reached out to grab his sleeve A soft plead; "Please don't leave." So they stayed together that night And more happened, out of sight Lips bitten, eyes slipped closed Skin touched, removing clothes Later that night, they lie awake One tryin' to ignore the ache Legs tangled in the sheets Countin' each time his heart beats "I promise, " his friend said "One day we will be wed. And until that day, my friend, I will love you, 'til the very end."
