DON'T TELL ME WHO I MAY OR MAY NOT LOVE

Don't tell me who I may or may not love,

Don't describe the shape or color of my desire.

I will choose the person, the sex, the interests,

And we will decide between us what works best for us,

And the neighbors may raise their eyes,

And they may gossip over the back fence,

But, you and I will not care, for we know,

That we love and no matter what we do,

What we do and feel is love.
