Don't Need but Want

In the quiet of my solitude, I stand

With a heart that’s both full and expanding

“I don’t need a man or friend,” I proclaim

Yet the echo returns, whispering my name


It’s not about needing, but rather desire

For a connection that sets the soul on fire

Someone on my level, a companion so true

With whom I can share every hue


I long for a presence, effortlessly profound

Where silence speaks volumes without a sound

Someone to inquire, with genuine care

“How are you today?” hanging in the air


For moments when sadness quietly creeps

And the weight of the world makes my heart weep

A bastion of support, a comforting light

Dispelling the shadows of the night


I seek not a savior, but an equal standing

Someone with whom I can be demanding

Of love, of respect, of all that’s sublime

Together, transcending the constraints of time


This desire, not born of emptiness or fear

But from a place of love, crystal clear

I don’t need, yet I wish, for this gift so divine

A friend, a partner, with whom to entwine


So, I’ll wait, in this space of self-embrace

For the one who’ll meet me, face to face

Where I can fully be, without pretense or guide

In a bond where true love never dies


Seriously. The best thing that came, or is still coming, (written 04/02/2024) from this meet up and reconnection with my ex, is that I know I’m ready, but I also know that I don’t need anyone. But I’m also missing the companionship. I’m missing the fun, the cuddling, heck, even the sex. I mean, I’ve never enjoyed sex, but that was my trauma. I may have had a rendezvous once or twice over the last few weeks, and I’m telling you, healing… It heals you in all areas, and I’m ready to let the naughty girl out now that has fun, instead of just doing her job… I just want someone that cares how my day went. I want someone to feel comfortable, completely with. I’m ready. My life will continue without, and I will continue to grow, but I am ready. Still just not sure if it’s in God’s plan for me, but I’m open to it, and want it.
