Arms clasped around me.
Crushing me.
Holding on for dear life.
Hoping that I never leave.

Isolating myself by choice.
 Not for self-pity or attention.
Just privacy.  My privacy.
Friends know I'll not discuss my deepest feelings.

Yet a blue moon comes along every so often.
A craving to be needed.
To be touched.
To be a provider.

Counting the times on one hand.
Watching friends and their children.
The awe in a childs eyes.
The worship and dependency.

Wanting to share a secret.
Arms clasped arounds me and no one else.
Drawing strength from me.
Hoping that I never leave.

Every so often.
Wanting to be one-on-one.
Wanting to be special.
Arms clasped around me.

Give me a hug and tell me you need me.
