Casual Love
I didn’t clean the house before you came over
we met up in the woods in the clothes I was already wearing
you got in my bed while I still had morning breath
and I don’t know you yet
it’s been days, mere instances together,
I don’t know you yet
it’s been years and I don’t know you
yet
I’m hopeful I never will
I don’t want to know the future;
love is here now
it’s not asking me to dress up
or be more in my feminine
or provide for a lifestyle
love is not booking me flights, it’s what is there when I land, what drove me to go through that ordeal.
Casual love
easy and free
funny how I was told it was a life of leaving
low on commitment
dropping and running away
yet freedom led me, time and again
back where I truly felt at home
and I see the backs of my loved ones only when they face a bright and exciting future
better than a promise,
I have an ongoing reality
low stakes love, thick on the ground
everywhere I turn
nowhere to run
here now with food to eat
here now cleaning the floors
here now making a mess
everywhere I go
I am only coming home.
