of the words I spoke

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?
RECEIVING / PROJECTING
