I didnt lose anything the day that you kissed my red lips, told me that you liked them swollen this color instead of painted it. I didn’t lose anything when you kissed down my neck and across my collar bone and all the way down into my soul. I don’t think I lost anything the day we kicked off our socks and shoes and shimmied out of our jeans When we crawled under the covers and into each others hearts, whispering words that I can still feel againt my skin long after your touch has faded. Christmas lights casting shadows that I chased across your jaw Legs tangled and fingers twined, we were more laughter and love patience and passion imperfection and beauty than I had ever felt in myself alone. I don’t think I lost anything; some part of myself that my mother was always telling me to protect. I think I may have even grown.

Some Part of Myself
I didnt lose anything the day that you kissed my red lips, told me that you liked them swollen this color instead of painted it. I didn’t lose anything when you kissed down my neck and across my collar bone and all the way down into my soul. I don’t think I lost anything the day we kicked off our socks and shoes and shimmied out of our jeans When we crawled under the covers and into each others hearts, whispering words that I can still feel againt my skin long after your touch has faded. Christmas lights casting shadows that I chased across your jaw Legs tangled and fingers twined, we were more laughter and love patience and passion imperfection and beauty than I had ever felt in myself alone. I don’t think I lost anything; some part of myself that my mother was always telling me to protect. I think I may have even grown.
Why do people say "losing" your virginity?? You aren't losing a part of yourself, you aren't giving it away. So please stop telling me that this is something bad, something I should wait for; safe & consensual *** is a GOOD THING
