Bonds

Late-night conversations and genuine heart-to-hearts
Left me feeling closer even though we were far apart
I yearn for authentic community support
Some bonds will last a lifetime whereas others are cut short.

Whether it’s a friendship or something more
This built-up affection seeps through my pores
I’ve got no time nor interest for superficiality
I don’t ask for perfection, merely humanity.

It’s left a touch on me, a spiritual imprint
This impression affects me far more than I’d like to admit
Whether it’s the touch of a hand or a heartfelt message
Every interaction in my life has its own lesson.
