it was AROUND
the millennium & I was
hanging out in lesbian bars
with her & her girlfriend
they were
friends
& she was always teasing me
you NEED
the WOMAN love
BUT
of course they were a couple
she was FLIRTY
she was ALSO pretty damaged
in ways VERY similar to me
she KNEW I had a crush on her girlfriend
she thought it was CUTE
but NOT in like a condescending way
more like she ENJOYED it
BUT
she liked me
she was this TINY red head pixie
BUT not girly pixie
not boyish either
GAMINE
she drank too much & FAST
& I wouldn't say
it was a TREASURED memory
BUT
I f*CKing won't forget it
she had TOO MUCH to drink
she was sitting NEXT to me and she leaned over
& she BIT me on the BREAST
& from then on
she was like YOU NEED the WOMAN LOVE
& I was like
YEAH?
all I gotta do is get you DRUNK
AND
it was INEVITABLE
BUT
I FELL HARD for her
I woulda married* her
RAISED her kid
& she really
couldn't ever
get the friendship back
she really wanted to
*except it wasn't legal yet
