Couplets: A Love Story by Maggie Millner
4.0
"... After college I stopped writing
about sex and then stopped writing
the word I and then stopped writing any word
at all. For a time, I thought I had matured,
and felt, if not exactly pride, at least the pretty,
riskless pleasure of conformity.
But this was never my nature.
For freedom, I have learned, I'd barter
virtue every time. For any fierce, untrammeled feeling,
now I know I'd give up almost anything."
"There are many ways, of course,
of telling it. But each account obscures
some other version equally true.
One is that I lied to everyone I knew.
Another--this one I really do believe--
is that for years I loved him more than me."
