Maybe

A Poem by Ashley

I've never felt the fireworks
You say start on people's lips
Maybe it's because
I don't have a big enough sample size
Or maybe it's that I've only kissed guys
Maybe I've never felt
What I've been told I should
Maybe it will take until
I meet someone with whom I'll fall in love
Maybe they'll light up my night sky
With a million different colors

But maybe that's the perfect excuse
I haven't meet the one quite yet?
Yes I search to find out what it's like
Yes I want to find out what you mean
Yes I wonder how it would feel
But maybe there's another reason
Another reason I don't fantasize
About how someone's lips would feel
But about how nice it would be
To have someone to text at three am
Another reason I search to find the thing
The thing I've been told about

Maybe it's because I never will
Feel that primal need
Maybe it is becuase I'm
Asexual
Maybe it is becuase I’m
