"In Search"

Is it too much to ask,

For someone I can lean on when life moves fast?

Is it too much to seek,

Someone who asks, "How are you? What makes you weak?"

Can I have someone who sees me as right,

Who listens for hours, through day and night?

And maybe, asks for ice cream just to make me smile,

Stays a little longer, sits with me awhile.

Do I not deserve arms that gently surround,

A back hug that lifts me, makes my heart pound?

Is it too much to hope for the smallest of things,

A random text, or the joy that small noticing brings?
