Lovers Who Need More

Lovers Who Need More

They shared a home and shared a life,

Yet something felt incomplete.

Not because affection vanished,

Nor because their hearts skipped a beat.

The days were full of responsibilities,

Work and obligations too.

Leaving little space to nurture,

The connection they once knew.

They sat together every evening,

Yet often felt miles apart.

Speaking words about the weather,

While silence occupied the heart.

Both were longing for something deeper,

Though neither knew how to begin.

Fear of being misunderstood,

Kept important feelings hidden.

Love requires more than presence,

More than sleeping side by side.

It asks for openness and trust,

And a place where truths can reside.

One night the conversation started,

Slowly breaking years of disguise.

Sharing worries, sharing hopes,

Looking deeply into each other’s eyes.

No judgment greeted honest words,

No anger waited at the end.

Only understanding growing,

As lover became closest friend.

They learned that intimacy blossoms,

When hearts are willing to be known.

When every scar and every weakness,

Can safely be shown.

The more they needed was not luxury,

Nor grand displays for all to see.

It was feeling valued every day,

For exactly who they could be.

A stronger love began emerging,

Built on patience, truth and care.

Not perfect by any measure,

Yet stronger because both were there.

In the end they found the answer,

The thing they’d both been searching for.

Love becomes its richest version,

When two hearts keep offering more.
