i'm not quite sure why i'm obsessed with labels. but i clearly am. tonight i started wondering what to call m. recently i was calling him "my nearly almost boyfriend." but that phrase holds within it a presumption i'm not now willing to make. and i think the word "boyfriend" might make him a little freaked out. but "the boy i'm currently seeing" is just a mouthful.

more importantly...why can't i just let it be without labeling it?

riddle me that.
