And he wants to hold someone's hand on cold days. To walk in parks and squares not alone but with someone, together. And he wants to carefully readjust his hat on someone, to tie his shoelaces and fasten his jacket. He wants to cook together and eat every last bite. To fall asleep next to someone and not be afraid that they will leave. He wants to please and make surprises. To try and come home from work for someone. And also, he would like someone to gently stroke his head when everything inside shrinks with pain. Maybe he wants to be the best in the eyes of his people. And when he's sick, he wants even more care. Emotional support: and to be told to get well and not dare to be sick again. So naive, but so important. To bring hot tea in bed with honey and slice a lemon. To take the time to visit or bring medicine. Found a way to say they needed him.

What does a lonely man want? He no longer wants to turn away from lovers in crowded places, no longer shrink from lack of love and no longer shed tears at night. No more thinking about being alone. And no longer wants to sleep alone in a cold bed. He wants protection. To know he won't be abandoned. He wants a blanket to cover him when he suddenly falls asleep in the living room. That they could make him breakfast in bed. And wishes he had someone to watch the starry sky with him. He doesn't want to keep nervously reloading the page in dialogues, waiting for someone to write. And he wishes he had a message that said, "I missed you. And maybe he'd like to roll jars of jam together in late fall. Gather mushrooms and berries. Go biking and rollerblading together. Fall in the snow with his face and make a snowman. Celebrating holidays with someone, hugging and making promises and vows through the years. And maybe a little bit, but I want to go to the store together and choose milk. To give flowers or cook dinner. Meet him at the airport and fly in the air. And a picnic or a party together. Take someone to a restaurant or movie. Making morning coffee and toast. To see a happy face in front of him. And he wants those eyes to love only him. And faithful. And maybe those lips could kiss him. And also belong to someone.

What does a lonely man want? Just a little warmth and care. Just to not be lonely.
