I don’t want just anyone.
Anyone can make me laugh and smile ear to ear.
I want someone who answers my calls after midnight with glee.
Someone who looks at me with their whole heart and holds me like I’m the only person in the world.
You brushed my cheek with your thumb the way one would stroke a daisy, so soft as to not harm its dainty exterior.
Put your fingers through my hair like you were feeling the warmth on the grass.
I didn’t know how badly I wanted your gentle touch or how much I longed for your gaze.
You and I have always felt too much.
I knew you from the moment we met those many years ago.
Our hearts on our sleeves, we would dance through the sun because we knew that
Clouds would never come if we were together.
Perhaps one day the timing will work.
Maybe we will feel everything we’ve ignored,
If just for one moment.
They are warm. They are true comfort. They are love.
