just a few words on pet names.
has anyone called you a petname?
she called me beloved and it made me want to crawl my eyes out
the very word you once said
the one where you knew i was saying something ridiculous
or unintendedly disastrous
i can’t go home without you
you’re the only place i wanna come back to
no matter what im doing i want to arrive at our doorstep
to rush in the kitchen to
how it didn’t feel like it did with you
how i thought “wow that was crazy, but i wish you would kiss me like that”
i thought about how weird it was this was happening with someone else
but the passion wasn’t like it was with you
i liked our banter and jokes but i missed how you understood me
far more patient far more kind
to be determined who’s more worthy of my time
it should be this one but the biomes aren’t compatible
meanwhile i always felt your body like my greatest curse and my deepest blessing
you were peace with passion comfort beyond my greatest imagination
my dearest and my most true
countless words that cannot go to print
won’t you say it back to me just this once?
