The Morning After

Last night I sounded so strong.
I felt strong.
I spoke so well.
I felt like it all made sense.

Last night, I felt agreeable
To whatever boundries
You would have chosen to set.

Close or distant,
Sexual or platonic,
Whatever you chose
Would have been fine.

This morning I'm not so sure.
I feel vulnerable,
Not strong.

Like I spoke too much
And said too little.

Do I love you?
Do I accept you?
Or am I still desperate for a boyfriend
No matter what the cost.

On this,
The morning after,
Am I truly committed
To the boundaries of this relationship
That we agreed to last night?
