Fishing: A poem

Restless.
All this nervous energy. 
Happy, awake, thoughtful, cuddly, 
Like I want to give the entire world a hug. 
Wild swings, from anxious and stressed to excited and elated.

Tomorrow. 
Tomorrow he'll be here. 
Tomorrow we'll touch again, hold again, 
That full-body embrace, skin on skin.
Tomorrow I won't have to fish for attention, won't have to grovel to be seen, won't be rejected and ignored. 
Catch, no release.
