Love is joining hearts.
Most of my life is spent apart.
It’s hard for me to be a friend.
Have autism that never ends.
It keeps me chained inside my mind.
Without a way out for others to find.
Fragmented pieces of myself I try to show.
Please put them together so you may know
I love.
I love to be loved.
You are precious, Phillip. This is a poem that I will save for always. Thank you for it.
