Comfort in the Night

I don't need to talk everyday,

Relaying every second of our lives.

I don't need late night conversations,

To confess our deepest secrets.

I don't need the reassurance of your love for me, 

To be constantly intimate is a bore. 

It would be too much right now.

All I need is your body, 

The physicality of love. 

To help relieve me from myself,

So the weight of life doesn't crush me. 

Your body next to mine arms wrapped around me, 

Giving me the illusion of stability. 

Something I am unsure I will ever have.

No, I don't need feelings, 

I just need pretend.

Thoughtful, honest tone. But it makes me sad, though I can relate to this way of thinking and feeling.
