We meet in our special places, <br />away from prying eyes, <br />away from voices that condemn, <br />the happiness together we have found. <br />We meet in secret at times when we can. <br />We have no partners <br />to be guilty of, <br />they just say <br />that we are too young, <br />to know the meaning of love. <br />One day we may run away, <br />to be together forever. <br />However, for now <br />we must meet <br />behind closed doors, <br />in each other homes, <br />because you are six and I am seven. <br /> <br /> <br />(21 May 2007)<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/behind-closed-doors-3/
