Touch me.
Please
My chest is heavy
My throat clogged by something invisible
The oxygen around me feels thin
Or nonexistent
I can’t breathe
Hold me
Please
My skin has forgotten the feeling
Of others’ hands
My body has forgotten the feeling
Of others’ fingers
My soul has forgotten the feeling
Of flying with another’s
Losing itself in the moment.
I am not ready for
I love you
I am not ready for
I need you
But I miss hearing
I want you
And I miss hearing
I’m here for you
If only for one night.
