While lust is a sweetened latte
Both in their own ways good
Though one easier to swallow
One is healthier, the other a desire
One gives a sugar crash, the other pure coffee flavor
Sometimes you find both your Americano and latte in one person
Sometimes you don’t - and that's okay
Sometimes you need a sprinkle of milk and sugar every now and then
Sometimes having it plain's enough to get you through the day
But no matter how many ways I’ve had my coffee
I always come back to you, my Americano
Simple, bitter, and just right
Figuring out how to describe my poly/open relationship.
Growing up I've always liked novelty,
experiencing new things, taking up new hobbies,
Eating interesting cuisines, and hearing stories about different people
For the past year, I've been experimenting on life in many ways
One aspect is my coffee habits
Be it adding lemon and orange juice, tonic water, coconut juice, strawberry syrup, or matcha - the list is endless
Most people find this weird, but it's what I genuinely like
I do know my weird coffee taste is not for everyone
Neither is me being poly/open (which I am in the process of learning)
But all this is possible because I have the most loving person supporting me, helping me explore my sexuality, getting me through doubts and guilt
I'm not sure if it's possible for me to love other people (in the normal poly way), even though my partner tells me it's okay (and that everyone should love each other)
What I do know deep inside is that I will always come back to him, my Americano
I do hope one day people will become open enough to accept poly people, especially in my country.
