Your solitude compliments my solitude

I'm not lonely.
I have been
living alone
for a long time.

When I tell you
that I need you.
It's not because
of the vacant
space in my
life or a
desire to feed
my depravity.

It's because
you make living
alone feel weird.
Your solitude
compliments
my solitude.
Your presence
turns a house
into a home.
Your absence
raises the
temperature
of my ardor for
you.
I can survive
with or without
you.
But you're
the reason I'd
pack extra blankets
and food just
in case.
And I love you
like that.
