i tell them i met someone
and their jaws soften
shoulders relax
they’re more
comfortable
with that
i tell them we just started
hanging out
as friends
and the more we get to know each other
the more intense
i tell them we’ve been going
to all my favourite haunts
galleries down alleyways
plastic chair restaurants
and they look at me
wistful
because my LOVE story
is blissful:
i’m dating my SELF
and it’s beyond fucking beYOUtiful
