The feeling dissipates
But I still remember the warmth
I still crave the moment
Looking for the next opportunity
To be gathered up in caring arms
To be told that I will be kept
Safe from harm
To be well thought of
And loved in return
My heart awaits the chance of exchanging the courtesy
Yearning and turning in desolate places
Aching to see and experience friendly faces
Hopefully a day will arrive
Someone’s eyes will catch me by surprise
And I will be held in an embrace
That makes my lonely years fade away
That gives me emotions that are here to stay
The feeling dissipates
But I still remember the warmth
I still crave the moment
Looking for the next opportunity…
To receive a long, awe-inspiring hug
I use to run from intimacy
Choosing isolation
And silent discretion over having a hand to hold
But as of late…
My heart has grown bold
Love always, Esha
