I used to want a lover to write a love poem about me
So this is a love poem for me, by me
I make my bed every morning, because it’s the first place I think about being after a long day And sometimes I lay out pyjamas and face masks in case things don’t go so okay I drink coffee on my own and enjoy exploring new sites and cities alone I smile when I lock eyes with strangers and aren’t afraid to strike up conversations I go swimming in the ocean alone, it’s the only way I truly feel the energy in my bones I finish hot showers with a blast of cold water and smile when I see fathers and daughters I think love is perplexing and don’t trust easy But rest easy knowing I’m right here if I ever need me
