A Comparison

When i was 17

I reconnected with a guy

Some would call my perfect match

With dreams of following the sky

Dancing to the violin's of bach

When i was 17

Now i am 20

and i just met a guy

The comparisons i make in this poem

Stand the test of years

with a few moments

But those moments,

Simply extraordinary but humbling

See when i was 17

I took a flight back to see a guy

who said he loved me.

When i was 20

A guy spent the entire day

Trying to keep my mind at ease

While my first election was at bay.

Ah man the comparisons.

When i was 18

The first time i went to a guy's house

His sexual prowess wanted to touch me

feel me, grope me, devour me

Lastly, I lost my virginity

on a night i snuck out on my period.

Now i am 20

I just met a guy.

The first time i went to his house

We watched a movie,

Broadway musical about History

Alexander Hamilton

And he asked if he could kiss me.

Ah man the comparisons

I stayed 3 years

with the guy i met at 17

The guy i met at 20

I known for a few weeks

but he's never tried to change me

It's weird really because for three years

After 17, he made me feel like everything wrong was me

The guy i met at 17

The second time i went by his mom's apartment

Tensions was high, we had coitus

there were good times

i'm not gonna lie,

he went to family planning with me

Made sure i didn't have a child.

Appreciated.

The guy i met at 20

The second time i went to his house

We listened to old skool music

and he taught my two left feet how to Salsa

A dream i had thought would stay a dream

The laughs were hearty

the almost falls were spectacular

It felt like he knew my speed

and didn't want to excelerate the pace

Appreciated

Oh man the comparisons
