I Am In Love

i have been in love three times in my short life. 

 

the first with a mirror image of myself, a beautiful girl built from the same broken bits of glass as i, a perfect love, until we faded out in a cataclysmic array of color.

 

the second with a monster, dark and treacherous, who turned my mosaic heart against me, shattering it through and leaving me in the dust on a hot august night. .

 

and now, i fear i may be in love with a fairy, and it’s all i can do but to hope her wings don’t carry her away from me too.

My name is Teva, and this piece means a lot to me as I fully embrace that I have been in love with three different women, and will continue to love women until the end of my days.
