Coming Out

You're so high on nervousness,
Scared out of your mind,
And have no idea what word to put after the other.

This isn't knews to me.
I've known longer than you've known...
But I never decided to point it out.
You'd tell me soon enough on your own terms.

And now the only thing
That has changed between us...
It the set of gender pronouns
I use to talk to you with.
