Baby Blue Poem by June Gray

Baby Blue

here's another for you, i suppose
i want to give you all the words
all the words in my soul

after a long day
the best way
to rest my head is upon you
you rest yours on me too

i bury my nose in your hair
no matter how clean
the smell grounds me
it makes me feel so giddy

i lace my fingers with yours
no matter if they fit
smell your hands too
often they smell like cinnamon

something i can't shake
i want you all day
i guess I'm gay
dunno, I just like you
i love it when you're a goose
sometimes you're my good boy too

sometimes it feels a little strange,
a little weird, a little off
but i love you,
and that's not wrong

no use in worrying about it
the truth is, i'm keeping you
i think i like you,
baby blue

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This is about how sometimes, the person I'm dating feels more masculine than feminine. But we're young, and she doesn't know, not really. This is about that in-between space, but from my perspective as her very much cis girlfriend- someone who is not interested in cis men. It doesn't mean I'm running the other way if my partner is trans, because they're too important.
