tonight i asked you if you hated me

which is a question

for the insecure

and one i usually save

for my brother

because he knows how to handle it.

but you put your arms around me

and said no, of course not

and that was good enough.

tonight i asked you if you needed

help putting on your eye liner and

i had only just met you.

you seemed to know nothing about

being a girl

and i wanted to help you but then

what do i know.

tonight you told me i was

part of your perfect sunday

afternoon

and we sweated

and played wiffle ball

to a tribe called quest.
