us girls.

we loved

and we loved hard

and we lost

only to love again

we sought attention

to be noticed, to catch eyes

because we loved to be loved

and we loved attraction

so much it made us blind

it happens to the best of us

we longed for relationships

to be held, to belong, to be loved

to give a piece of our heart away

we anticipated first kisses

like it made some kind of promise to us

that they felt the same

we rushed love

as if we were running out of years

and the time was running short

we engaged in sex

negotiated with consequential fears

until things stopped feeling like before

we controlled with commitment 

and jumped in with both feet too fast

thinking we made it to the top

we wondered why we only failed in the end

why it never seems to last

why they dropped us like it was hot

but it is in our nature

and never will we cease

to love

but we eventually only cease

to trust
