May 24SapphicLike medicine, her love heals me. It wraps around parts of my soul left bare and worn. It rests quietly in my spirit reminding me to live.

I am more me because she chooses love and she chooses me.Lgbtqia1 min readLgbtqia1 min read

Our eyes never locked or even crossed paths. I just saw you. And, me and my body barely noticed.Relationships1 min readRelationships1 min read
