Needle

Over a year and I still yearned.

I wanted this done right so I self-learned.

Did my research and found I needed 18 for my turn.

Skip ahead to the day.

I went in a few prior to be certain and inquire.

18 comes and I revisit for a stay.

And now this new shiny thing I won't grow tired.

The clamps more painful than the actual prick.

They're like a pinch lasting five minutes, tick-tick.

The water flows as the physical taps the nerves like a trick.

Afterwards I think it looks great.

A secret for myself.

Invisible I make so haters can't hate.

Remy

If I told you you're beautiful would you believe me?

I don't know why but you have this magnetism.

I want to discover who you are.

Let's make this work while it lasts,

And I hope you find this a gratifying experience.

I think there's a great chance for us both,

A chance to learn what 1+1 can really become.

Now let's talk family since that's kinda big.

The sister you met is cool with it.

The other doesn't know but that is okay.

And my parents... Oh boy.

Well, I'm not sure what mom will say.

I think I'll try to reintroduce the idea to her.

Tell her of a girl I've known for a while

And want to get to know better.

And what will she say?

Mm, not sure.

When I meet your family I hope they like me.

I am confident they will as a person,

But for what we have set out to be?

That part you tell me.

I've watched you grow up over a bit;

You seem the same.

But perhaps that's because I only saw from the outside.

I wonder what I seemed to you then and now too.

Okay Remy I bet you'll see this so thanks for reading,

But more importantly, for being.
