What we want and what we need
the two may intersect
but the feelings that direct us often veer off track
if you want it right this minute chances are
you shouldn't have
but you did it anyway and now it's emptiness, come back

Rushing to the point of your most urgent of needs
is disaster in the making
just needs the truth to intercede
Feel it all, wash it through you
why don't you sit and just be still
not as fun as making time with the confusion of desires' will.

Just a couple of sassy gals!

This is great, isn't it?
Living together
exercising together
double dates with cute men
cooking, not together but we share food on occasion.
Our cat...well it's not my cat
but it's allowed in my room
sometimes.
I get more sun.
Up til now, life has never been
this way.
not for me.
two women in their 30's
(ok just me. But almost you!)
living together
running around in sweet independence
turns out that this
is my definition of happiness.
Not forever but
right now, it's pretty damn good.

She asks "why so many cat pictures?"
Have you ever woken up
to a small, warm, squishy being
laying on your chest
it's face, centimeters from your own
soothing sounds, it's contentment assured
it's little limbs splayed but gripping
you, like a tiny invasive hug?
But in honesty, I think the creature is in my brain.
I am covered in it's hair.

same same but different

It's different when you're older

sex is

the excitement is still there but anxiety

it's not necessary and instead you find 

they know what they're doing

and so do you and

every one. is so. happy.
