I Love to Touch You

Touch. Such a simple yet powerful action.

Not a poke or prod. Those have negative connotations and effects. They are to get attention and are harder. Who wants to be poked?

A touch is softer. It can say, “Hello, dear friend. It’s so good to see you!”

Or it can say, “Hi, my love!”

Or it can say, “You are so special!”

Or it can say, “I want you!” Just from the lack of pressure with the touch, a smile, and a look in your eyes.

With THAT touch, a soft movement of your hand can bring forth many emotions, such as an appreciation, gratitude, and a sought-after untampered desire. The softer the touch the greater the yearning.

Through that yearning the touch becomes a needed prod, a grip, a push, and a pull. Until a crescendo is reached.

Soon the touch of relief takes over — softer, softer, softer with the whisper of gratitude and the words, “I love you” that accompanies the soft caress and warmth of a hand.
