Casual Solitude



I live in a world without love
Where the word is absent
and the feeling is faceless

I live in a world without love.
Where there are no hugs and kisses
no gentle touch or fulfilling connection

I live in a world without love.
Where I go untouched for years
and human contact does not exist

So never take for granted;

the love you hold,

the lips you kiss,

the person you make love to,

the one who looks at you with hope,

the one who loves you unconditionally,

the smallest gestures of care,

If you  are not careful
the chance may never come again.
