Like father and son
you and I were close
though I was born a woman
something not chosen, I suppose
I’m sorry I was not the son you wanted
or either of the sons you had
I’m glad you loved me anyways
I was your daughter, and you my dad
Growing up I cared not about my looks
long hair and overalls
rather shy,
and rather tall
If I had told you
that I was gay
would you have loved me
in the same way?
I’ll never know
now your gone
that’s the end
it’s all said and done
why could I not speak
when there was time
I’d not really realized
who I was inside
I didn’t know just what I wanted
or who I had in mind
gender didn’t matter
as long as they were kind
now I can’t stand
the touch of a man
women are for me
that’s not hard to see
the thought of you never knowing
breaks my heart in two
I wonder if I had said it
you would have said “either way I love you”
