Dear to Me

I am considering
A mature
Relationship
With someone
I hold dear.
Just friends with
No long-lasting
Commitments.
She needs to feel
The illusion of
Control and
Independence,
Afraid to give her
Heart as well as
Her head.
She is dear to me
And I consider her
Terms of endearment.
Would she ever see
How much we all
Need someone?
Not for sex,
Not for support,
But for a friend
When things
Get bad and
We are alone.
A friend to hold
Us in the dark
And touch our
Heart with care.
And, she is
Dear to me.
