I cried today in my car While I went on an extended drive I just want to be touched Held in the embrace by a boy that reveres me Gently sway in the dark With our hearts pressed against one another’s chest To the tunes of cigarettes after *** Softly playing in the distance I crave a matured intimacy Where another sees my authenticity And accepts me in my full mystery But I don’t have that And it ******* hurts Viscerally It aches in the center of my chest And the tears slightly make the pain subside The romance novels and late night self-love sessions Provide some sort of escape But they cause huge crashes after the chemical highs have dissipated When will my time come Tomorrow One month from now Two years

How long must I wait
I cried today in my car While I went on an extended drive I just want to be touched Held in the embrace by a boy that reveres me Gently sway in the dark With our hearts pressed against one another’s chest To the tunes of cigarettes after *** Softly playing in the distance I crave a matured intimacy Where another sees my authenticity And accepts me in my full mystery But I don’t have that And it ******* hurts Viscerally It aches in the center of my chest And the tears slightly make the pain subside The romance novels and late night self-love sessions Provide some sort of escape But they cause huge crashes after the chemical highs have dissipated When will my time come Tomorrow One month from now Two years
I just hurt more tonight than I have in a long time. Loneliness and a desire for physical intimacy is tough to deal with when you’ve never experienced it yet are surrounded by people who share their experiences and expect you to have had some.
