single

Waiting in line
I asked if you were single
You introduced yourself as Beans
And sat on the steps lacing up your shoes
We went to Bens Den with my cousin Bobby,
Then back to the party.
Drunken kisses, you had such soft lips, the night was a blur
I couldn't wait to see you again
I became nervous when the initial excitement died down, not realizing it would be replaced by true love, for the first time in my life.  I was not an object. A fling, an afterthought. Used. I was wholeheartedly loved by you and respected for who I am.  Thank you for loving me just the way I am, as I love you

Love. Me
