Our Collective

When we’re together

It feels so easy

And organic

And natural

Like it was meant to be

This way always.

Sitting on the couch

With you both

And we’re all connected

We’re a collective

A collective of love

And support

And respect

And dignity.

How is it

That I am so lucky

To be assimilated

Into this collective

And have a place

To be myself

To be loved

And be received

As I am

And not as others

Think I should be.

I never imagined myself

Dating you both

And belonging

Feeling welcomed

And wanted.

Resistance was indeed futile
