Love in Parallel

There are songs that say what happens
when a woman loves a man
and when a man loves a woman
well he does the best he can
But where are all the songsthat tell it like it really is
When the towels are hers and hers
when the mugs are his and his?
When a woman loves a woman
Is there something in the air
that no one else can understand
In the beating of her heart
in the touch of his hand
when a woman loves a woman
when a man loves a man.

Why do people think its different
for those who love their own?
Do they forget that helpless feeling
when your stomach sinks like stone
Arethey aware of what it says
about the way they love themselves
when they tell us that they'd be ashamed
to love in parrallel.
There is something so affirming
when they love someone like you
who is soft in all t he places
where you find your softness too
who sees the world through your eyes
and who knows your body's ways
there are things that you will never need
explain or have to say.
