Yearning

I see that you’re yearning

Yearning for something sweet, something new

Something full of silly dates and cuddles, a new life adventure

Long nights just talking and having simple, full fun

Someone to call ‘yours’ and be called ‘theirs’ in turn?

Well, I’m yearning too

So, why don’t we

Yearn for each other?

Wife

Where is the love of my life?

Where is she and where might I find her?

Girlfriend or wife, my lifelong partner, where could she be?

Oh, sweet goddess of love, won’t you tell me?

I’ve fallen for a girl I’ve never met.

and I’m hopeless in my yearning for her,

because I know we’ll be wives and partners one day,

and I’m impatient to meet her.

Goth. Girl. Friend.

Button up shirts

Smoked out eyes and lashes to the nines

Leather skirts and boots that can stomp for days

A whisper, Do you think she’s gay?

Honey,
