I miss having a man by my side so much...

Sometimes it gets especially quiet in the evenings, and in that silence, I feel a particularly acute loneliness. I lie in bed and think about how I long for simple human warmth—for someone strong, reliable, and dear to me. Someone I can cuddle up to, close my eyes to, and feel safe.

I miss being cared for, for tender words, for the feeling that I'm not alone in this world. I long for a man by my side, someone with whom I can share not only the day, but also the silence of the night, thoughts, dreams, and warmth.

And sometimes I catch myself thinking... maybe it's you? Maybe you're the one with whom I could feel calm and warm, with whom distance would cease to matter, and loneliness would simply disappear.

And perhaps you are that man...
