Partner
Partner -
that's what you wanted to call me.
You said that 'boyfriend' made you think of frat boys.
I hesitated
and said that's what married people called each other
and that I didn't think we were ready for that.
But maybe I shouldn't have said anything,
because it might have been nice to hear you call me
partner.
