The morning sun crept into the room gently

he stretched his muscles wondering where the other guy went

a scan of the apartment revealed nothing but a sense of longing

the bathroom door slightly open hinted at a hasty exit

later that day a vague recollection of a park emerged

a shot of his lover skating effortlessly

but he was gone into the cityscape

the chase was on to find the elusive figure

hints emerged in unexpected places

a torn page from a magazine showed his face

the realization hit hard a gay comic

depicting their moments in vivid detail

a heartbreaking revelation

yet an magnetic pull to know more

the pages unfolded more intimacy

a twisted tale of love and lust

he found himself by the art

each panel a painful reminder

the intense feelings palpable on every page

a last image leaving readers wanting more
