His Girl

by Devon E Mattys

When he calls me his girl, I melt.
An orchestra of heartstrings swells,
And as surely as his pronoun is possessive,
I am
his.

Author's Note: Inspired by a text I received this morning at 3:07am, when the person who sent it should have been asleep. I was in the middle of a 4-hour drive away from his place, and it read, simply, "Where is my girl now?"

I like this Devon. Short, but to the point, and in that...evocative.
