Treading water

I'm reaching
As far as I can, in any direction
Hoping to find something to hold on to
And if one dare to dream
A someone that reaches back

There are so few
That will fit in my embrace
That my face can hide in the empty space by their necks
Or their arm that reaches all around me
And pulls me in
Strong and safe

Where I for a moment don't have to worry
Except for about you
