The Desire For Companionship

by Mike Fontanini

A lonely boy sits alone on the bus
Sees two best friends laughing in the seat next to him
He looks down at the empty seat beside him
Wishing he had a friend to fill that void

A heart broken girl
Looks at a grave stone with her father's name on it
Longing to see him, and hear his voice again
Wishing he was still there

A newly widowed mother
Kneels beside her daughter
Crying as she looks at her husband's grave
Longing to feel his embrace once more

A young man in his early twenties
Wonders if he'll ever find someone
Longing for that special someone
Wanting to feel that embrace of love

A lonely longing
To be loved by someone
A feeling in every heart
The desire for companionship
