How to feel
I have no ability to feel the way you do.
We come from different worlds.
I am nothing like you.
I met you the other day.
Why did you stare at me that way?
Didn’t you notice my vulnerability?
I am nothing like you.
I felt a strong connection.
But that is nothing new.
I’ve felt like this millions of times.
The world is full of guys like you.
I wanted to take you home.
I wanted to make mad, fierce, passionate love to you.
I’ve done this all before...
You touched my breasts.
I didn’t stop you.
But I am not a whore.
Or maybe I am?
Maybe I have no fucking clue who I am.
But I am nothing like you.
I don’t know how to feel.
Do you want me? Do you like me?
Do you want to take things further?
I’ve heard that taking things slower could make things last longer.
Maybe we should take that road.
That’s a road I’ve never taken.
But I don’t want to drive there.
Will you hold my hand and walk with me?
I don’t want to get in your car.
