Something close to the heart

That... feeling

That... thought

The one that seems so fleeting

as intangible as our meeting

As rare as not being alone

and as desired as succeeding

This... want

This... need

To not be so lonely

To not be one and only

To feel the affection of another

And have what's sought

Those... desires

Those... wishes

Seem so hard to achieve

So hard to believe

That I could hold and have

something as bright and short as fire

These... aches

These... pains

Of a heart by loneliness hit

Set to barricade more then fix

To hide the pain

Rather then face the stakes

That... feeling

That... thought

To not be alone again

To have a love or friend

That's there through to the end

Is something worth seeking
