Yearn

I yearn to be yearned for.

Not wanted, not needed, not loved

I have been wanted

I have been needed

I have been loved

But I have never been yearned for.

What does it mean to yearn for something?

Yearn is an intense feeling of longing

Maybe for something lost

Maybe for something hidden

Maybe for something not yet found

Maybe for something that is right beside you

But you are unable to touch

The exact cause is unknown

But it is a feeling that traverses want

It makes needing something so small

Like a single speck in the universe

It makes love simple words on a screen or a page

A fleeting feeling in a bowl of emotions

But to yearn for something

It encompasses your very being

Every beat that your heart makes

Every tear that drops from your eyes

Every drop of blood that you shed

So

Wanted

Needed

Loved

I’ve been all of those

I yearn to be yearned for
