Blessing in Disguise

Folder: 
Tributes to Lovers

You never seemed 

like the type 

to need reassurances 

until yesterday.

 

It was the first time

you uttered the words 

"love" and "you" 

in the same sentence. 

 

But I could 

never love you;

I just got off

on getting you off.

 

Not for the sake 

of an orgasm,

but I relished knowing 

you were thinking of me.

 

Before I projected a lot

of my insecurities on you;

I took out many of

my weaknesses on you. 

 

All these years later

I thought I was an option;

but now you tell me 

you had feelings all along. 

 

I must say you're too late.

I moved on and what I 

considered your rejection 

was a blessing in disguise.
