I think we all crave connection.
The pure, simple ability
to talk until hours pass
like seconds
and seconds
go by
in the blink
of an eye.

We want someone's undivided attention.
To hang on your every word
and notice the way the light
hits your eyes
and your eyes
shine brighter
than the whole
night sky.

Mostly, we want to understand love.
To have someone hold you
Comfort you and make
you laugh
and laugh
so much
you cry.
