Tenderness, If It Exists

What is it like to be wanted?

What does it feel like?

To be the reason someone smiles

To brighten up their day

To make their pain fade away

What is it like to be held gently?

To be looked at with adoration?

Does it make your heart feel light?

Does it complete you?

Utter tenderness and devotion

Someone knowing all about your memories

The good and the bad ones

Someone who sees your flaws

And loves you because you are you

Is it soothing?

Does it bring you peace?

Is being wanted like finally being able to breathe?

Is it like being home after years of wandering?

What does it feel like to be accepted by someone?

To be a part of their imperfectly beautiful life?

Does it make you feel warm?

Is it like being wrapped up in a cosy blanket?

Like having hot chocolate?

Is it magical at times?

Maybe it’s like being a cat basking in the sun

Maybe it’s the sun on a winter afternoon

Or perhaps it’s like drizzle and cool breeze

Gentle rain that makes you calm

What is it like to be truly wanted?
