Hug tight: on winter wishes

They say that desire alone is not enough... But no. It is quite enough to get what you want sooner or later. But rather, what you want is not enough. I notice more and more often that even the ideal does not bring full pleasure and joy. If, as I wrote earlier, a person needs small portions, then pleasures are needed in portions... small and infrequent.

Here comes the cold weather to my city again
All the verandas are cleared out, wicker furniture is in the closet
Even tram wires are freezing
I'm looking for a big, suitable scarf in stores.

It will cover my shoulders and half my back.
Imitation of someone's hands and a duvet
no down jacket warms as well as you could
But you're not around. And I'm warming myself here with whatever I can find.

Hug for several winters ahead
This is the memory of a hot body - so needed in the city
And when your first ice cracks under your feet
Hug tighter. Wrap yourself in sweaters.

Take care of your feelings and your thin bare necks
A lonely heart has to try too hard
And while you're away, I'll run to the caffeine
I warm my fingers with Starbucks cups.

It's one thing when sweets become boring and the taste is lost. It's another thing when a person consciously refuses the best in favor of... nothing. Perhaps there is a thrill in this. Again, I was talking about sincere desire, which is practically nonexistent now. Maybe such a refusal is connected with simply wanting. The pleasure of wanting to desire. Tell me, if there is something warm, tender, affectionate in front of you. Or... tasty, fresh, aromatic. What could be the reason for refusing to use it?

Maybe it's not about desire, not about perfection? Maybe people, like cats, can communicate without words? Hugs in silence... which creates an inner ideal state and a desire to stop time.
