all squeezing into the space to make room for anyone and everyone who entered.

And then, we met. Confident, Charming, Competitive. Captivating, if we’re going with alliteration. We initially found pleasure in the comical ridiculousness of questioning eachother. The laughter, the flirtatious teasing that has you asking yourself, ‘is she or isn’t she?’.This shameless testing of the queer waters quickly led us to cementing our answer. Oh yes. We definitely are.

The sudden rush of wanting. The need. The urgency to leave together that I hadn’t felt with anyone before. Now THIS is what it feels like to kiss and be kissed. An insatiable hunger that just felt undeniably good. Right. A different kind of flame from the one lit before.

No longer having the fear of being ‘caught’. No one’s suspecting parents around. No religious shame or guilt to be found. The only limits, boundaries, being ones set by ourselves, instead of those that restrict and strangle. I wasn’t to blame and there was nothing to blame. All we had to do was lose ourselves in each other for a few hours of the night and in the softness of the morning.

There was no doubt in my mind and in my body that I found pleasure in this night. This person. This experience of unbridled and unashamed queer indulgence. My pleasure was found in a sense of queer liberation that I never knew I would be allowed to feel.

My mind feels like a mess, Thoughts scattering through the wind. And yet there is no time to rest. Stuck inside my own mind.

Then I see you... What am I supposed to do...

I can't make time stop, but you know how to pause. For me I know you would with me and all of my flaws.

What it feels to be me, and how I am with you. For everything I am saying from now is true.

There is a difference between a once of, and a true love.

For you see me for all that I am, no mask may hide me, or another can understand.

I can rest on your comfort, to allude my discomfort.

The familiarity to have you there, When the sky's unknowingly bare.

I don't want to waste my air and words, for one night. I want to save my breath for you, because I know it's right.

Chirping as the sun comes up for the moon, I get to hear your sweet little tune.

You bring a light into my life, Something which can be taken into the afterlife.

For it is just the most simplest things, To watch to grow and spread your wings.

You get me and I get you, There is nothing else to it, besides that I love you.

For we can be two birds in the sky, Just you and I.
