I want to write a love poem
but I only love
this one crush who, years ago
was a boy
I want to share with you the dream
where he swept me off my feet
but now I want to share that moment
with him more
I'll confide in you the deepest secret
I've never kept
that I loved that man more
for who I thought he was
than what he turned out to be,
dare I say it
a boy
