Better With Two

He came to me in a dream once

that lonely traveler of time and space.

In those hazy middle of the night moments,

I felt the soothing balm of contentment soak in.

As our hands touched, I knew his words were true:

"You know the thing you need most of all?

You need a hand to hold."

By his side, I was no longer

an ordinary girl—cold, alone

in a tiny dimly lit bedroom,

a name with a face.

Every cell of me mattered to him.

I was treasured, accepted, warm.

In my dreams and on the screen,

we find each other.

His face sometimes different,

his hearts always the same.

He takes my hand, leading me

to his next adventure,

always better with two.
