once every so often

you don't have to be pretty
or be beautiful physically
or be great at
anything you love....

as long as you're there
for me to see 
and lean on
once every so often

and by knowing that you 
care and hold me close
to your heart
once every so often
i know i can
live life
well
enough.

Author's Note

this is me, imagining someone who is not there, atleast for me to feel something...

Aww this one is sweet and sad at the same time. The sentence to have someone to depend on "once every so often" goes perfectly with your ending "I know I can live life well enough"...sounding as though it would be just enough to keep enough positive in your life so the negative doesn't totally swallow you up. I think we all need someone we can count on, to show us they care, to just think about us every so often; but to have someone with you constantly, as a partner, friend, lover....that's really a blessing :) You express yourself so well with your writing.

There is such a longing tenderness in your voice, my friend. The heart speaks out what it longs for, what it needs, what it feels will bring it completion. May your imagination be a seed that grows full.

Lovely...this is so soulful and unconditional love...rare today but not extinct as you have shown, beautiful Pax :)

Why be content with "once every often" when you can always have it? Just a thought. Perhaps, this is the author's way of saying that he is not expecting so much from anyone. I hope you're doin well pax :)

yes... I am a believer on a quote :"the higher your expectation the harder you'll fall" Thank you Gab...and I am doing well :)

[jacob erin-cilberto]

that is all we can hope for in a good relationship...that sometimes when we need to, we can lean on each other...

that it is a back and forth, balance of caring and giving...

I know feeling alone is consuming, but your heart is still reaching out for possibility. Very touching words, Pax
