Although I am happy in my independence, I am ready…

Although I have a life surrounded by joy, I am ready…

Although I have no need for validation from another, I am ready…

I am ready to again be in love.  To be held in the calming embrace that is knowing I mean the world to another.   Ready to see the world through the eyes of another.  Ready to wrap another in the warmth that is my love and affection.  Ready to once again walk hand in hand, share the smiles that speak shared secrets and stories.  Ready for the longing glances across crowded rooms that say, I am yours and I want you.

Ready, finally, to share all that my heart has to give
