"emotions are valid. gender and sexual orientation is valid. Wanting to be that bird tweeting at 1:35 am or the thing under the bed is valid. YOU are inherently valid and worthy of love" -Me

This may be offense but do you think Aroaces are immune to love potions? Like they drink and they just go “Why is this drink so fizzy?”

An ode to Asexuality and Aromantism

I'm the only AroAce in my friend group, and these thoughts plague me more than I like to admit. It's my first time writing poetry not for school, and I liked how it turned out, so here. Hope other people resonate with it, and know that they're not alone.

One day, I will be alone.

My friends, who are my family, 

they are my closest bonds.

They are my people.

They’re not like me though.

They love differently, “normally”

One day, they will find their person.

Someone to make them laugh,

Someone to care for,

Someone to grow old with.

They are my people,

But I am not their person.

When they find this person,

I will be happy for them,

And yet cry for myself.

It’s only a matter of time,

Until there’s no time for me.

It has happened before, it will happen again.

And even if it doesn’t, it won’t be the same.

THAT is now their person,

Their closest bond.

I am now “just” a friend.

And one day, I will be alone.
