Longing

Longing ...
This deep need,
For connection 
Deep inside of me.

I don't know what it is ...
This abyss. 
I don't understand this emotion or this
Feeling inside of me.

I don't lack self esteem. 
I know who I am.
Know that I am whole and complete,
Just as I am.

Yet this need ... longing for 
Your connection.
A connection only you can bring,
Never goes away.
Sometimes it feels stronger inside of me,
Than others.

I wrap my arms around me.
I Hold myself.
Comfort myself,
Love myself,
Pamper myself,
Pleasure myself.

But it never goes away.
Do you feel it too?
The longing ...
For a connection you've never had.

For feelings you've never felt.
For a completeness ... 
That encompasses every cell of your being.

I miss things ...
Miss things I never have had.

I keep telling myself I am perfect,
Just as I am.

But this emptiness ...
This emotion.
This need,
Is Never vanquished.

Longing for you ...
For something I have never had.

Tell me you feel it too.
Together we can be.
And vanish the longing, 
Deep inside you and me.
