Just turn around in bed
And touch my cheek.
I am not asking for hours.
A moment is all I seek.
I know your language
Of love is not the same;
But call me jaan once –
I already know my name.
A caress – in passing –
A hug that is warm and tight –
Can soothe so much pain –
Can make love so right –
Hearts Still Care 
The lack of a close connection, the desire of feeling special when someone does the small little things for you out of the blue can get overwhelming after a while. Especially when you expect that person to engage in such gestures quite often. It is not limited to physical intimacy or to a romantic relationship. We, as humans crave attention & attachment from friends & parents as well. It feels good when my best friend bring me a Harry Potter bookmark just out of the blue & when my mom makes mithi roti, even after I said I am not hungry. It hurts when my dad is not able to show his affection & it feels great he tries to do so in his own way.
The common thread of human emotions & desires is woven into varied life experiences.
