I wept. br A strange word that, br it looks so odd there br on the paper, no sense br of pain, of tears, of heaving br lungs that are so choked br there is no room for air, br just letters sitting gently br on the page, the screen br holding a world of heartbreak br in four letters. br I need. br Oh how I need you. br Some future moment br in my life adding br to the sum of my existence br to echo light with dark br and vice versa br not completing but br enhancing all that we are, br magic shared becomes br unstoppable. br I want. br Another word br with secrets hiding br in its corners, so gentle br a beginning bringing teeth br together, strong statement br at the end makes br an announcement, not needy br does not mean I do not need br I cannot weep, I do not want br companionship. br I feel. br Oh so alone at times, br look sideways in a movie br so the laughter can be shared, br dropp a spoon and pick it up br myself unless some waiter br all observant is nearby br I feel the need, the want br for eyes to smile into, for br arm to cling to when I am tired br never there. I wept.
