It is almost as though there are missing lines. It is an interesting poem but seems to struggle in conveying the authors message. It is almost as though there are missing lines.

Hmm or maybe that's grasping at air. Maybe it's love for everybody. She seems to be saying everybody is worthwhile and has something to contribute. Maybe something in the

Hmm or maybe that’s grasping at air.

Maybe it’s love for everybody. She seems to be saying everybody is worthwhile and has something to contribute.

But at the same time, the poem isn't bleak or tragic: it's laying a foundation for love. One wonders if not having a relationship is being between relationships, having an openness to love that itself is characterized by love. @ David – I think there’s definitely something going on that’s love-related: “I missed you” becomes a general exhortation at the end, it’s like erotic love dropped out for the sake of work.
