Attachment Issues

My worst fear of losing the ones that I Love,
Versus my desire to live a long life..
I found that if I do not live a long life, I technically will not be here to lose,
However, in living a very long life, I’ll inevitably lose it all..

“How unfortunate this game can be”, I say to myself very often.

I Love deeply connecting,
I Love to be the one to understand you, when no one else does.
When you come to me in anger, I lead with Love.
You‘ll hopefully follow..

I Love to be the one to hold you when things get overwhelming,
The thought of melting into me is enough to get you through the day..
Impatient,
Excited to greet me after work hours, in the last moments of the night,
Curling into my arms,
Your safe space..

Closing your eyes as I speak with you,
The vibration from my voice sends you to sleep,
I don’t share my inner thoughts as I don’t want to disturb your peace,
But I often imagine how your life would be without me
