Dr. Livingston, I presume

There are some things that I miss in my life right now. I miss (considerably) someone to curl up with me, and I miss being told that I'm loved. I have friends who tell me I'm loved quite often, but it's a different fondness.

Why is the need to be loved such a driving force in a person's life?

I guess I'm just tired of going to bed alone. I miss intimacy. Physical intimacy, yes, but more I miss emotional intimacy. Even with my closest friends I don't have emotional intimacy.

Of course this is all quite vague, when in fact the thing that's rubbing at the edges of my mind isn't vague at all. I know exactly what I desire, and I feel like I can get so close, but won't ever actually get what I want.
