home

she pulls away
and i gasp for air

i can't believe she just kissed me
her mouth tasted like strawberries
and felt like silk

nancy wheeler, i breathe, you just kissed me
she smiles and says i know i did

but what about your boyfriend?
she takes my hand in hers and squeezes it
i broke up with him a week after
he asked me out
turns out i couldn't push my feelings for you away

i ask her what this means
she lets out a tiny giggle
a sound that i'm so fond of

it means i like you, idiot
i smile big
the biggest smile i can manage

my heart grows
and i know i'm home.

end.
