Not A Typo
May 31, 2016
I’m in love with you,
But I can’t say it out loud
Because our talks always end at hello.
I’m in love with us.
And our picturesque Pinterest wedding
That only lives in my mind.
How do I describe this love?
It’s probably just misdiagnosed
school-induced stress.
At least that’s what I’m hoping.
Don’t say anything.
I’m fixed now and my bandaged
Bullet holes have healed.
I latching on to every hello
Because even when I say I’m over you
His hello holds me close,
Closer than he’ll ever hold me.
I meant *than you’ll ever hold me.
He can’t know this is about him
So I’ll just keep my goodbye at hello.

I'd like to think this piece eiptomizes my struggle with self-identity in my life, and how even to this day I am trying to come to terms with my identity as bisexual.
