This is excellent, vintageblack! I love the first two verses so I’m glad you repeat them. The idea of overthinking is so relatable and many a night’s sleep has been ruined by one imagining innuendoes where there weren’t any! You express it so well. I also love this line:
“For it felt wilder
to dance fox-like than
to grow white hairs”
Thanks Sunra!It’s really lovely to hear that you enjoyed and found it so relatable 🙂 I poured my “foxy”-spirited and overthinking soul into it hahha 💛 Anna
