Men and women seek
Other men and women
Trying to fill a void within
Men and women find
Other men and women to nurture
Or heal its damaged
mien
Men and women love
Men and women
For Love is a thread, its power profound
As men and women wish
For other men and women
By its gossamer potency
we are bound
Men and women need
Other men and women
To satisfy love’s single
utter plea
There is no other way
And no other beauty
Like these friendships both now
And yet to be…

yes, we do seek those connections, need them to live.
