Pride in love | Jelisa Gonzalez

When I think of intimacy

I do not only think about

Birds and bees

A mechanical motion

Of what “love” is 

Supposed to mean

I could look into your eyes 

And love you

You could be screens away 

As your ambience is held

Close to my heart 

I do not owe you

“Physical”

As that is what I’ve grown to believe

I would want

Intimacy

Pride 

Love 

To own more depth 

Transcend binaries 

And teach us 

That there is more than one way to

Love 

Or be loved
