I Need Love and Affection

More Than You Know... I Need It All.... I just put on the "Independent, No Need." Mask.. To shovel it down. When really, I need love. I want someone to walk through wood trails and talk to as the sun sets, let my hands rub against flowers as I hear his voice. I need the kisses... the cuddles... the squeezing.. even when I resist it like the plague. Someone to remove my facade.. to love me. I need It. I need it. I Need It so much. Yearn for someone to stay up with all night.. Someone to read poetry with.. To make my soul flamboyant and alive again. Someone to laugh with uncontrollably.. Someone who wouldn't mind holding me as I cry... who wouldn't mind the wetness in their jacket... Someone to hold my hands when they feel cold... I need affection. I need the love of another person. I want to go to sleep with someone special settling in my mind and fading into my dreams to awaken with me in the morning. Someone to lounge in bed with for the sake of getting close. Someone to tell I love you. Someone to say it back truthfully... I need affection and love more than you know. Because sometimes, I forget my importance, feel down and gloomy, a bit weary, discouraged and angry. I need someone... I need it... more than you know...
