Dodge Ball 🤾🏾‍♂️

Short poem illustrating a day when I felt like a shadow, seen someone I love in public but they ducked and dodged me like we playing the old school fun active and steady game of dodgeball. People dont understand loving someone which means not needing constant contact, in person or via text, to feel secure. It means trusting them in every way possible and earning their reciprocal trust in you. Love means loving yourself, too. It means always being your organic self and never shifting to fit another person's standard. Love is affection, romance, sexual pleasures, etc.
