Sitting in my apartment by myself. It has been a while since I felt someone’s closeness. The closeness that comes from a romantic partner who wants to be close to you.
I have friends. I have family, but it is not the same.
It is not the same as the longing and the need I have for him. I want that closeness, the touching, the being in their presence and being able to feel them.
I want that touching and kissing and the rumbling that comes as his voice seeps into me when my head is resting against him.
And I want to be wanted in that way. Want to feel worthy of that closeness. Worth the effort of it.
