__________by Skandlouswrds

Like a thief in the night
She stole my heart
Everything I possess inside
Soon came pouring out
How can I give myself
To someone who is of the same gender
Easily!
I saw her as person
Not as a sex
When I look into her eyes
I feel a love so genuine
Beautiful she is
Internal & external
Delicate like a flower
Wisdom set in stone
Aging gracefully
Femininty as a whole
Soft & motherly
Nurturing & mending my life
As time progress
Characteristics of a Best Friend
__________Sister
_______________Lover
Not wanting to rush intimacy
Awaiting the appropriate moment
Something so sacred & in depth
Although we are separated by age
We are unified by a foundation of friendship
Words tangle within my tongue
When it is time for my true expressions
Afraid of what I feel
For it’s my first time at this kind of love
I want to bring you into my world
To show you how I am capable of loving
I want you to appreciate all of my abilities
Simple things are all that I ask of you
Please do not concentrate on my short comings
Flourish what we share
Blossoming our many possibilities
You are my first girlfriend
Cherished & forever held sacred within my heart
