tw: the complicated mess that is queer love and friendships

~went to poetry club for the first time this term and was inspired to write about my first "relationship" (it only lasted eleven days and we're still friends lmao i'm so lesbian)~

written on: may 15, 2024

it's not sad because i loved her, i really didn't love her

it's sad because i know i could've

because i know that i can love any girl if you give me enough time


and maybe that's my problem

i wanted her, yes, but more than that i just

wanted someone to love


and maybe that wasn't fair to her that i just

wanted someone to call my girlfriend

to show boldly, unashamedly that i am queer to an unforgiving midwestern audience


yeah, maybe it wasn't fair that i just

wanted the rebellion of our love and didn't have nearly as much care for the love itself

at least, i didn't yet


and maybe i could've and

maybe i couldn't have but there's

no use trying to overthink those strange, warm eleven days
