lesbians and lithuania

commonality seems to be
a requisite for simple hellos nowadays
but us
as common as a fish and giraffe
we come together, pairing perfectly
(at least i believe)

you not knowing my heart
i not knowing your will
we tread slowly
learning and understanding our underneath
while unearthing soiled pasts
and exhuming decomposed love

we found our likes
like, i need you
like, you need me
our differences give strength to our legs
carrying us toward a history
filled with opposites and ironies
that build us solidly

with a touch, we meet
with a kiss, we make love
we create a life
just us two
uncommon together

I'm not a lesbian, and I'm not in Lithuania, but this write means much to me, and describes my own recent feelings.
From "We found our likes..." on, I was shaking my head yes, yes, yes.
You conveyed the emotion plainly here, with a frugality of words. Excellently done.
