I’m someone who falls in love easily in the summer.
Someone who complains about the cold in the winter
yet fears the warm touch from another.
-
I love to fantasize about possibilities with a stranger
But run away when they become my reality.
-
I can’t differentiate love from obsession
Besides the fact that love keeps my seat warm
While obsession runs around looking for a new spot to sit.
-
I can fall in love with the same man twice
But never beyond that limit.
-
Cause falling in love means
To gamble
And being in debt means I can’t afford
Another heartbreak.
-
So I look for a new admirer
Who will charge me interest
Only after the first 12 months
Enough time to pay off the damage
from my last lover.
-
And people may say I’m single
Because I look too high
But I just brush it off saying
“It’s not my fault I like tall guys”.
-
I admire the unknown
Since it’s free
Like walking against the sand
Completely bare feet.
-
I see the world
By tracing my fingers
Against the lines of his palms
The calluses represent where I must rest
Into the arms of him who wishes for me to stay.
-
But let me go once
And I will unravel
Into thread
That you can sew into a new lover.
