reading back, different words spring to mind - for love, for touch. for secrets kept and body given. but these words - hidden between worn lines adorned with romance, saturated with (thrill-seeking) *** - they describe bad - when *** (with him) was good. it wasn’t perfect - it was better. better than being mauled by boys who couldn't think past their own hard-on. better than drinking at night in the park. better than being alone.

hindsight (factoring in the push and pull)
reading back, different words spring to mind - for love, for touch. for secrets kept and body given. but these words - hidden between worn lines adorned with romance, saturated with (thrill-seeking) *** - they describe bad - when *** (with him) was good. it wasn’t perfect - it was better. better than being mauled by boys who couldn't think past their own hard-on. better than drinking at night in the park. better than being alone.
