Dear Jeffrey

Dear Dear Jeffrey, oh please tell me
How is New York City?
Do the pretty boys all shine in your light?

Do you stay out all night dancing
Just to watch the sun come rising?
Have you finally found a lover that feels right?

And have you found a way to fight the feeling with each day
That says you’re not worth a damn thing, just go die?
And have you found a way to hold the feeling with each night
That says you’re finally free to love, just go try?

Dear Jeffrey oh please tell me
You still write poetry
While waiting for the subway home each night
Are they songs for your lost father
A sonnet for your new lover
Does it still bring you joy to write?

Like a piece of twine, we co-exist
Though its been some time since we did twist
And turn the streets of the lower east side
Few and far apart these days
I hope you know that I do take
Time to let you tumble round my mind

And I hope you’ve found a way to fight the feeling with each day
That says you’re not worth a damn thing, just go die
And I hope you’ve found a way to hold the feeling with each night
That says you’re finally free to love, just go try

Dear Dear Jeffrey, oh please tell me
How is New York City?
Do the pretty boys all shine in your light?
