nail polish
you asked me to paint your nails,
so we could match with the black polish.
I held onto your hand as I worked,
my heart racing and hands shaking.
I wanted to pull you in until time pulled us apart,
but I resisted.
you said I treated you better than anyone before,
and I was happy to take that title.
you told me I’d be a great boyfriend,
and joked how you wish I was a boy,
and in that moment so did I.
