Touch Creature

Touch Creature

There are no hugs

There is no snuggling

There is no cuddling

There is no kissing

There are no signs of affection

There is nothing intimate

There is no memory making

All there seems to be is escape into a sleep in which you find all these things

But when you awake, they are no more

There is only the pain your body feels

No moments to look forward to

No hugging to hold you tight

No one who holds you near to snuggle and cuddle with

No affectionate touches or pats

Your life seems empty, and dull

Someone who loves you is near, but doesn't want the things you need

I ask you, what IS love if it doesn’t have affection within it?

What is love if there is no closeness?

What is love if there is nothing more than someone’s presence, but they aren’t really there?

Are you so wrong to want closeness—affection—love?

You feel like you are dying within, for you are a “touch creature”, and without it, you die.

Part of you says to stay alive, and the other says it’s dying.

You struggle so hard to understand, but some would say you are "blinded" I suppose, to what you believe love should be and show.

Love should be cuddling and snuggling

Love should be hugging

We shouldn’t feel we have to ask for these things—they should come naturally.

Love is making memories with one another…

Love is caring for one another when the other doesn’t feel up to par

Love is learning to read the other person—or at least trying

Love is not critical or demeaning

Love is kind and gentle

Love is giving and sacrificing for the other

Love is being devoted to the one you love

Love is not selfish

Love is wanting to please the one you love

Love is giving without expecting something in return

A touch creature needs to love and to be loved back—to be held and to hold

Not to be clinging, but to be loving without fear of criticism

In love we trust, and in trust we love

For without trust, we won’t give of ourselves and we hesitate to share intimacy of any kind--we must trust

ourselves as well as the one we are with

Are you so wrong in wanting your someone special to trust you?

Are you the one wrong in wanting affection and appreciation?

Are you so wrong….?

In one way or another we are all touch creatures--if we know it or not...we just need to open our eyes

In loving someone, we accept them for who they are, and are not critical of their downfalls

We may not like their actions, but we love the person they are within

We don't try to change them, but love to see them grow

No you are not wrong in being a "Touch Creature"

We all need affection and love
