“Because I love pussy, too.”

— She Hate Me

“Because I love pussy, too.” The words still ring in my head as if they are new. From her lips. To his ears. Right down my spine. Shot through my fifteen year old piercing eyes. I watched, clinging onto every word she spoke after that. Clinging onto the way she held her woman’s waist. Clung to how she called her woman hers.

I felt seen. I felt seen. I felt seen.

While I hid my eyes from the room I was in. I felt excited. As I sat there motionless. Still. Static. I would shock my system. And laughed off the film. As we do.
