Queer Questions

Friends or more, lovers or less, what are we?
I have more questions than answers,
more fear than fortitude.
I’m out of practice, far removed from beginnings.
So much time spent on good-byes,
I‘m missing the hellos,
a novice again in this dance
of dating and mating,
of the sex and love refrain.
Friends or more, lovers or less, what are we?
