I’ve spent a lot of my time in yearning.
Wishing that I was back in your arms and on your chest with your fingers tangled in my hair.
That physical comfort grounding me in a psychological way so I could take on the world.
My hand in yours, taking on the world together.
Two minds figuring out how to make the other stronger.
