Sunshine & Shadows

<p><em>From kids to adults.</em></p><p><em>From BFFs to lovers.</em></p><p><em>Except life is never that simple.</em></p><p> </p><p><em>Jamie:</em></p><p>Oh My God Stephen Taylor grew up to be gorgeous.</p><p>He called me feather-brain like he did when we were kids and it was like he'd never left.</p><p>Except back then I wasn't in a wheelchair.</p><p>Come on Stephen. I haven't changed. I'm still that glass-half-full kid you remember honest.</p><p>Please be different? See past the freaking chair?</p><p>Of course what would make it goddamn perfect would be if you turned out to be gay as well as tall and beautiful.</p><p>Hey a guy can dream right?</p><p> </p><p><em>Stephen:</em></p><p>Oh my God he hasn't changed.</p><p>He's still full of sunshine like he was as a kid.</p><p>He wants to know what life was like in California but there's only so much I can share.</p><p>I'm not going to tell him what I've been through. He doesn't need to know I have lousy taste in men.</p><p>Why couldn't just one of them have been like you Jamie?</p><p>Because I could so fall in love with a guy like you.</p><p>Only one thing wrong with that – you wouldn't want a guy like me.</p>
