i wear a band on the finger that show the most significance.
i wear them to protect myself - for security purposes...
and i now i long for it to ring true for me.

because i am used to the feeling of them on my finger.
rings indented  to show the false pride...
that i am still indeed lacking the commitment.

it is no longer a simple slip off the finger
if a handsome fellow passes by and takes a glance
because there are marks to prove that i am somewhat "loose"

tied to no one and yet longing to be with the one
who could be the bearer of such a simple gift
to wear with meaning on my finger...

rotating the false band to the other digits of my hand
and someday soon gaining the strength to either
take it off completely...or make it official.

such a silly girl am i.
