I was infatuated with you in another life
and by “another life” I mean
last week.
There wasn’t much between us, but
you are the only one who’s ever made me wet
without touching me.
So, it was good to see you
and it is good to see you
and it will probably always be good to see you
the way it’s always good to see the sun.
Sunlight brings my freckles out,
but it makes your entire body glow
until you’re the brightest thing in the room,
the center of the universe for the day.
But I’m a Cancer, baby.
Like the moon,
I revolve around the earth,
not the sun.
Not you.
So why can’t I look at you
without feeling like I missed out on something?
