Amidst the love that binds us tight,
A subtle yearning comes to light.
To cherish others as my own,
Yet find a space to be alone.

The bonds we forge, they bring delight,
In caring hearts, my soul takes flight.
But weariness, it finds its way,
When constant giving leads astray.

For though I love, I must admit,
A quiet moment, I'd permit.
To gather strength, to feel anew,
Before embracing all I do.

In finding balance, I'll restore,
The love I give, forevermore.
With open arms and heart so true,
I'll cherish them and cherish you.
