I remember full well what you said:

no interest in ‘like, dating,’

you haven’t found that ‘emotional connection.’

‘empty relationships’

and so much philosophy on life –

but you think so much,

sometimes you forget that there’s more to living

than worries and considerations.

take my hand,

kiss my lips,

let your body curve to mine,

and believe that there is something there –

maybe not what you’re looking for,

maybe not that unattainable euphoria you wish you could achieve,

but there is some happiness to be had

in simply holding someone through the night.

let me dream of you,

and let me remember not just your words,

but the silenced longing that I too well understand.

situations are different, maybe,

but should we so philosophize,

the two of us are so much the same.
