to be impossible. History has not been kind
to two boys who love each other like we do.

and my family was in a similarly small town
in Ireland- I can't imagine they could have

ignoring all the strange roads that led to us
being in the same time and place, there is still

contradicting securities and insecurities,
interests and disinterests, beliefs and doubts,
could somehow translate into this common
uncommon affection should be as impossible
as walking to the moon. But instead, I love him. — David Levithan
