The Morning AfterLast night I sounded so strong.I felt strong. I spoke so well. I felt like it all made sense. Last night, I felt agreeable To whatever boundries You would have chosen to set. Close or distant, Sexual or platonic, Whatever you chose Would have been fine. This morning I'm not so sure. I feel vulnerable, Not strong. Like I spoke too much And said too little. Do I love you? Do I accept you? Or am I still desperate for a boyfriend No matter what the cost. On this, The morning after, Am I truly committed To the boundaries of this relationship That we agreed to last night? |
