Becoming yourself.



Baby, you are becoming more of yourself.

Sounds spicy? I prefer it juicy.
It seems so much negative whenever you exclaim 'no' in the midst of our converse. Yet I now have learnt that a 'no' means reason, a reason I shall always love to hear.

Sometimes, I feel like abruptly pausing your words in your expressions, why? Because I feel the difference between the 'you' in the past and the 'you' today, so arousing. Not just that, I also do imagine the 'you' tomorrow, more different.

I do not yet understand the composition of my body, but am quite certain that my 'heart' was specifically molded. Quite uniquely different. Maybe by nature.

The more you become yourself, the more I shall love to have regular natters together.
It feels different because you are different.

About this poem

Well. This poem depicts the love I have in witnessing my lover developing and becoming more of herself. She's been bold and frunk in talking out her minds to me and I love that.
