Interlude 2

How my heart aches In my soul, I have an idea of love Want to be in love, want to know intimacy This desire burns in me so deeply Deeper than my desire to act Or entertain, or become prosperous, or famous, or successful It's a burning deep in my core, just to be loved A monogamous love, a really sweet special love Will this burning desire in me ever cease? Isn't even sexual. It's love But perhaps I'm going to have to love myself first Really learn to respect myself Really learn to value myself, treat myself good I know, I know deeper than anything I've ever known That just like Mykki Blanco Just like my poetry book Just like the man, if I keep myself open Intimacy will find me
