Dear John

Dear John,

You took advantage of a friend

I brushed it off at first but as they say

Boys will be boys

You grabbed me

I pushed away but as they say

Boys will be boys

You didn't understand it was wrong

I couldn't do anything to stop it but as they say

Boys will be boys

You came out as gay

I repressed it but as they say

Boys will be boys

You joined the Army

I moved away but as they say

Boys will be boys

You forgot about it

I will always remember but

Boys will always be boys.
