I am 25 and I have never been in love.
That’s one of those facts that makes me
Sit and stew and sigh like a dog on
One of his off days.
I am 25 and I have never been in love.
But I once drove twenty minutes to a
Bakery to get my friend a cake for her
16th birthday with the face of her
Favorite band on it. And she told me
That was her favorite thing she’s ever
Gotten and we watched fireworks all night.
I am 25 and I have never been in love.
But I have held someone after a breakup
As they cried and cried and cried,
And gave them my favorite jam and tea
And told them that if love is an anchor
That means it is also a boat. You will find
Your way to harbor again.
I am 25 and I have never been in love.
But I have raised terrified kittens in my
Bedroom. You let them sniff you first,
You always let them sniff you, you put
Out food, you don’t give chase. You wait.
And one day they come to you.
And sit on your lap and purr like
A motor terraforming Mars itself.
I am 25 and I have never been in love.
But I have picked myself up after all
My worst days and given myself soup
When I’m so sick I can’t stand
And given myself cakes on the days I feel
Like dead ashes and tape that’s lost its stickiness.
I have licked my own wounds and healed my own
Bruises, I have called myself beautiful
Even when I don’t feel it.
I am 25 and I have never been in love.
But maybe I have.
