lesbian poems

I love you

I can successfully and confidently say
That I,
Am over you

After all the daydreams and sleepless nights,
overthinking,
and heartache

After all the emotions weighing me down

The crushing need to see you smile
And heal and thrive
Has overpowered the need to kiss you
I can safely say that I love you
Without feeling a pang in my chest
My feelings for you have shapeshifted
Into something just as wonderful
And fulfilling

I love you
You are my best friend
My first kiss
My sister

I can talk to you comfortably
And laugh with you
And cry with you
I'm so happy for you
I want to hold you so close to me
But not in the way I wanted before
My heart holds a steady rhythm
And my smile is genuine
As well as my concern and excitement
When you talk about him

I'm not addicted to cigarettes anymore
And not to you either

But, this is still a love letter
To you
To our past
And to our future
We were not meant to be lovers
And I am so much more than okay with that
I hope you'll invite me to your wedding
And that you'll attend mine
And for us to still talk in years to come
Because you've carved a permanent spot in my heart.

I have finally gotten to the part where I can say

I love you

Without any residual matter.
