Never Needed Someone Near

You say you never needed someone near; To hold or at least know is always here. No desire to touch a hand or a cheek Or to hear a voice that makes you weak. So then this loneliness you did not know: When all are gone but you never said “Go.” Never needed arms wrapped tight around you, Enjoying the rain or sun in sky blue. Well, I am not much like you in this way; Hungry – not - for a single touch each day? A void is what I feel within my heart Whenever just inches or miles apart. But this strong need to be near another Has always been for you, and no other.
