"You are the sun in my winter sky, you are the hello in my goodbye. You are the stars shining down on me, you are everything I had hoped you would be. You are the arms wrapped around a hug, you are the pull when I need a little tug. You are the lips that feel my gentle touch, you are the one who loves me so much. You are the one who I come to for love, you are my angel sent from above. I need your love, I need you too, because I am the I in I love you."


We excuse people for their crimes and flaws
Bad times and deeds we forget and forgive
The choices one makes may cause broken laws
And thoughts of guilt are what they must live with
Ones with a different sexuality
Lesbian, gay, bi and transgender too
Did not choose to live differently
Yet they are blamed for crimes they didn’t do
Sexuality is not a choice
LGBT or straight we’re all the same
Don’t silence all the different types of voice
Embrace how we all feel love, joy and pain
The separation between those with different thoughts
Must end by seeing who is guilty and who’s not.
