Homophobic

by Samantha Lowe - Scorpio

When we met
There were no clues as to who you were
My judgement was blank
For there was nothing to judge
There were no signs
No questions
As to who you preferred
Guys or girls
What did it matter anyway?
When we got to know eachother
You were introduced to the real me
Or atleast a part
You got used to me being such a tease
Taking any dare that was passed through my ears
Making every foul joke and comment I could have said
Even if it was considered sexist, racist, or even homophobic
I said them and nothing held me back from saying them
After a while, I thought you could tell that I was only joking
None of what I had said actually described how I felt
But you took it to heart
Thinking that I'd love you less
For your door swinging opposite of mine
For not being just like me
For liking girls, instead of guys
Like normal girls are "supposed" to
You told others that you were scared to tell me
Thinking I'd cast you out
Thinking I'd turn my back 
But what you didn't know
Was that I already knew
Knew all along
Due to someone coming to me on the first day 
And explaining
I walked up to you when I found out how you felt
Sat you down and said that no matter what
I was here, always will be
And that you've got a friend in me
Now after all thats happened
You're the one standing right along with me
Joking those foul jokes
Making fun of eachother like we were sisters
And sharing our secrets and EVERYthing else
As if we've known eachother our whole lives
Accepting eachother for who we really are.
