One-sentence Love Story: The Gaze

All it took was that one gaze—one gaze shared by the two of us—and now I think I’m ready to accept it. 


The author's comments:

This piece is a personal story about the acceptance of my bisexuality where I locked eyes with another teenage boy and never saw myself or the world in the same way. I specifically chose to use the word “gaze” in the poem as it sounds like the word “gays,” which is used in this context to mean two men in love
