Belonging

Belonging?

What does that mean?

I've never belonged to anything.

People avoid me,

Make fun of me,

And I'm alone most of the time.

Being alone is the worst pain you can feel,

And being with someone is the greatest joy.

I sit down with tears in my eyes,

I put my hands in my face,

Trying to hide the shame.

"Hello there." he says with a smiling face.

I look up slowly.

I looked at him confused.

"What are you doing here on the floor?" He asks.

He holds out his hand to help me up.

He wiped the tears from my eyes.

"None of that now."

I looked away in shame.

"Now what's wrong?"

I said nothing.

"Well where do you belong?" He asked.

"No where..." I replied,

"Yes you do. You belong with me."

He said with a smile
