Leaning

I stand alone, I stand beside you
With all of my being I want to
Lean into you, wrap myself around you
Be enveloped in your strong arms, your warm sweater
Take a weight off of me, ignore the world for a few
Minutes, please
But I know
That's not appropriate, and so I
Shove my hands into my pockets
Lean against an imaginary wall
Sway frailly in the imaginary wind
And feel
A little more empty
Than I did before.
