Sapphic Idiot

or we could just be dumb sapphics fhbgjkger

They say I'm in love with you,

but I'm not really sure.

 

I know that I love you

with the way I associate you with mornings,

and the way waking up doesn't seem so bad

cos I can look forward to greeting you.

 

I know life would be different without you

cos I know life will go on, I will go on,

but as the song says, it would be like

August without summer vacation.

Or Space Sweepers without Kotnim.

 

I know I want to kiss you

but not on the lips, not anywhere sexual,

I want to pat the top of your head

and plant a little kiss there as you rest,

or lace my fingers with yours and kiss

the back of your hand

as we spend hours talking.

 

I know there are other parts for other times,

like the side of your head when you wake up,

the back of your shoulder when you cook,

or your knuckles when you get too into

discussing your favorite movies.

 

I know I don't want to date you,

but I also know I can picture

spending the rest of my life with you.

Somehow, in some way.

 

 

So I don't know.

I don't think what they say is true.

But if these things mean I'm in love with you,

then I'm not really sure.

[Matthew Kult]

Platonic love between best friends can be confused as being in love with the best friend. Or it might just be me. Great read.

With love,

Matthew
