Company with Women

We met in a coffee shop
I'm glad we found the time
It's nice to sit and have a conversation with you that's not so rushed.
We talked of everything political
I wondered aloud if we should feel guilty for being an overindulgent society
You replied that acknowledgement of the lenience we allow ourselves is a big step
I said it's nice to have a socio-political conversation with a woman my age
You said as much as you love your friends they don't understand or enjoy these topics
I enjoyed our time together so much that i had to write it all down
because i needed to immortalize the fabulous feeling
that comes from spending time with you

I came to visit you at work
I stayed until you closed
I followed you home to hear about your weekend
when you played at being grown up
We talked about our lovesand you worried aloud that it might not be as perfect as it seems
I asked you why a lack of precedence implies insincerity and heartbreak impending
you said maybe i'm just crazyit's scary to feel so much what about you
i said i worry that if i reveal myself i'll be the crazy girl but if i don't he won't fall in love with me
and we both laughed
we didn't come to any conclusions but it was nice to say it out loud
i enjoyed our time together so much that i had to write it all down
because i needed to immortalize the fabulous feeling that comes from spending time with you

it's been so long since i've kept company with women like you two
i feel so understood and listened to
when we spend time together
i'll be forever grateful for the sameness and the difference
i love you both so wholly
