Want

It goes more than teenage yearning 

The simplistic wishing for kisses and hugs 

For someone to buy flowers and brush your hair

To take you to dinner and say "I love you" 

But it goes to searching for a human connection

Moreso than the familial obligation of your parents

Or one by fate with your friends

But the love shared with another human person, for the 

Connection and affection that are powerful than life itself

Through every gesture and memory shared

Every lithe touch against the small of your back

Feelings of reassurance, pride, protectiveness, love, admiration

One found in an absolute stranger

Stranger hands tracing along teary streaks 

And murmuring soft worries, asking "why"

Whose heart grows heavy with absolute devotion

The way angels are to the god above

One who wishes to hear the world bustling underneath

To travel through the crevices of your mind without stopping

To worship, to cry for, to care for without fail 

From your first date to your last breath

To find that one person is turmoil in itself

Wanting it is worsening the destruction within

Yet keeping it seems so easy for it is everything that I want
