Queer as Fuck

If I had to do it all over again
I would still hold me close
and expand
ever loving
me
so largely I loved you too.

& you moved on
from me
but I stayed
in my love
in my skin
in wait
patient for another you
but not craving anything other than me.

If I had to do it all over again
I would still be afraid
but I would come out anyway
& find myself found.
I would still be queer as fuck
& beautiful as hell.

I would not have it any other way.
