Begging to be held,

She felt heartbeats synchronize.

Up against his chest,

Nestled in close,

The warmth of her person,

A teammate and friend,

Cards opponent,

New Year First Kiss..

Everything she needed,

Woven together, created

Just for her.

The roads before,

All the pain,

Refined her into

A warrior… but,

Still lonely, sometimes.

Where is he?
