I lay my hand on my chest
I expect my heart to stop
It skips carelessly
Selfishly
Cradled by bones
beating and palpitating
Irregularly
As I age and live another day
Without you
The facade of my life
Surrounds you
You’ll drown in reckless
Abandonment

if only he knew
that every time
i look at him
i see a galaxy
a galaxy
too far
away
from
me.

I don't yearn for touch the way others do
I don't desire to kiss people i'm interested in
I don't feel it's necessary for the foundation
of any of my relationships
But
I do yearn for love and affection
I do desire to dance with people i'm interested in
I do feel it's necessary for the foundation
of any of my relationships
to understand that I do love

I just love differently

Every day i'm learning more about myself than I knew before. I remember reading a comment on a poem I wrote a while back where they said something along the lines of "we all feel love in different ways," and that's true. What works for others, may not work for me and that's okay.
