Beyond Soft Rain

Both girls felt their bodies begin to relax and ease into reach of each other voices softening, fingers tracing each face together Trembling lips Valleys and streams, two moons merged together Do you know at our age how long it is very long Each day growing shorter, agreed it is to short I have wanted to just reaching the end to hang on How many times between sitting in class Hoping I wished you were gay like me How I had to put my fingers one at a time in my mouth. Rings empty pockets to keep one from touching you? How I am when I think of you How I just want to be with you every waking minute? How afraid I was that you would never date me When I told you how I came to know How could you hate me I love you
