not about love

How we perceive love in relationships can sometimes be skewed, but what if we were actually honest?

it’s been a while, she said

since i made love — like a connection

with another human being

he doesn’t understand,

what making love means

and claims the only time

was once in his dreams

that’s interesting she says, was it wet?

but he just laughs

because he doesn’t understand what she said

instead he claims,

that, after all, it’s not about love —

but Sex
