one week later, i got out the hospital

my arm was wrapped around yours

and yours were wrapped around mine

my mother was missing

my leg was covered in a cast

and my head wrapped in gauze

we got in your car and pulled out the hospital

i will admit, i was gonna miss doctor john

and his magnificent abs

i would also miss my tiny room

that was our safe haven for cuddling

and my hello kitty alarm clock

that beeped even when it wasnt set

id miss it all because you and i,

we were leaving,

leaving to the great unknown of New York

i had never trusted and loved a person so much,

with such power and force that not even i could contain it

you were mine,

and i was yours,

and nobody could ever possibly get inbetween us

not the pastors

who called us lesbians 

and cursed our names

not even my mother

who disowned me

and looked at me in shame

because

i loved you tyler may,

and i still love you to this day.
