We both know nothing's gonna happen here
It's a whirlwind of lust held back by my fears
That we give into freely anyway
For the sake of feeling somethingIf my body would not betray my wishes
If I could enjoy this
If things were simpler
We could be a magnificent creationA love for the ages
But you and I will never be
The happy ending
Only a chapter in each other's lives
Until we find something more fittingI can't change my identity
Though desperately I wish I could
You would be good for me
But trauma and standards keep me awayI don't really want this but I do
And I'm diving into new territory
But we both want more (Dec 2023)
