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)~

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
