NOT MY NORMAL
.
He came to me
He was my neighbor
He's gay
They we're a couple
.
He had left him
He was heartbroken
He wanted to talk with me
So I listened
.
I enjoy talking with him
About groceries and music
But never about his normal
Because it is just not my normal
.
I t's not that I didn't like him
I just couldn't deny what I believe
I am called to love him
But not to always agree with him
.
So I listened
As he cried and spoke
I did not really understand
Why he came to me
When he knew
That it's not my normal
.
I hugged him tight
I did not know what to say
Feeling a bit guilty
For not knowing what to say
.
I could not deny
That I would have react differently
If only he was a she
So I held him in silence
.
Thank you for listening
I know you're conflicted
But you're still there
.
I'm sorry, I said
What for?, he said
And again in silence
.
Then it was his turn to hug me tight
I will not force you, he whispered
To change what you believe
.
And then he left
I love him evenmore
Though his normal is not my normal
