Transition
When
I was a school boy,
My
parents used to tell me
I
should not mingle with girls.
"OK,"
I said.
My
company is always with boys only.
When
I was a school girl,
My
parents used to tell me

should not mingle with boys.
"OK,"
I said.
My
company is always with girls only.
When
I was attending school,
My
teachers used to tell me
I
should not mingle with girls.
"OK,"
I said.
My
company is always with boys only.

When
I was attending a temple

should not mingle with girls.

When
I reach the age of 13,
My
parents are looking for a partner of the opposite gender to marry me.
I
asked them, "Why opposite sex now?"
They
say this is natural.
I
told them you taught me this is unnatural.
They
told me that you couldn't mix with people of the same gender any longer.
I
told them you taught me.
My
teacher taught me
Our
preacher taught me to socialize with people of the same sex
How can you teach me to mingle with the opposite sex now When I
developed my feelings towards my same-sex friend?
We attended school together.
We
played together.
We
learnt together.
We
shared together.
We
walked together.
We
ate together.
We
sat together.
We
hugged together.
We
laughed together.
We
kissed together.
Felt
together
Loved
together
Merged
into one
We
grew together.
We
did everything together.
But
how do you separate our souls now?
Separating
bodies
Separating
feelings
Separating
attachments
Separating
our soul and mind
Dividing
our dreams
How
now?
It is true that girls love girls and boys love boys.
