cowardice

1. I never use your name in my poems. 

2. I couldn't even think of kissing you without liquid courage in my veins

3. I told everyone you were my best friend. We are equal parts not lovers and not friends

4. "I love you but not enough to date you" I could never convert my wanting into spoken words. I write more poetry.

5. "I wouldn't be able to have a sexual relationship with you" my fingers tremble when I touch myself. I'm too clumsy to touch you.

6. I haven't spoken to you in days. I never stop thinking of you.

7. The moon hides from the sun every day for all eternity. Is it holy? Is it cowardly? 

(we'll never know, will we?)
