TRACK FOUR / STRANGERS

receiving is when her body curls up next to mine

projecting is thinking this is love

receiving is when she rests her head on my arm

projecting is thinking this is love

receiving is when she licks my forehead

projecting is thinking this is love

receiving is when she doesn’t stop talking

projecting is thinking this is love

but is it not love? but is it not love? but is it not love?
