_{i remember seeing a man
tuck a strand of ice blonde hair
behind a girls ear and kiss her
her lips were pale and rosy

i thought about it in my head
i wanted to be in that moment
to feel all of those emotions
nervousness and love and fear

i can feel them even now
bubbling up in me in yellows
and blues and pinks
tasting so sugar sweet and toxic

but i would have rather
been the man i realzed in silence
i wanted to kiss the girl i loved
in fevered, rushed, happy glee

i wanted to be technicolor
not black and white
not ice blonde and rosy cheeked
i could never explain how i felt 

in that moment i was exposed
to my own mind, to myself
people always asked me when
when i found out but really

i always knew}
