“Do you think you need a companion to feel complete?” someone asked me tonight.
I think he asked a really good question. I wonder what other people think. I don’t know if I need a companion to feel complete. But I know I want one. And I can’t explain why. If I want one do I need one?
Why do we want love? Why do we look for love? In wanting and looking for love do we acknowledge some hole within ourselves? Can we be whole people without love?
”Love is all you need,” sang the Beatles. But, “What’s love got to do with it?” asked Tina Turner.
All I know is that even when I feel so happily single there are nights I imagine feeling someone’s back against me as I fall asleep. I guess “everybody needs somebody sometime.”
