Mindless Ramblings of the Queer Kind

Life feels different when I’m with you

Not what I thought I’d secure

It’s softer around the edges 

Yet more in focus than it’s been before 

You see me as myself 

And yet don’t run and hide

You meet me where I am, doubling down 

Season pass tickets for the ride. 

And Gods isn’t this so funny 

Isn’t it so quaint

The things that made the others run

With you just feel like fate

How am I to beat it

These things that feel so queer

The way you lean into my depths

How you volunteer

You don’t come in with matches

You just come in with words

You don’t push me away from you

Instead, you beckon me towards

And my mind, oh my mind, it tells me

Please stop, this thing might hurt 

Remember all the painful loves 

The ones who left you in the dirt 

But then I see your smile

The earnest way you trust

And I tell my brain I’m sorry

Because my heart tells me I must

So what’s the next adventure, love 

What trouble shall we find

A slow ride around the country

Or some mountain we will climb

In the end, it doesn’t matter

Whatever things we do

I find the only thing I care

Is that I am doing them with you.
