My whole body trembles
at human contact
like an addict
that is on withdrawl
so many years
without touch
leaves me searching for hands
and embraces
that will calm
my feverish heart
and the day after
my heart is still
excruciatingly beating
trying to jump out of my chest
and walk amongst the world
to leap into someone's arms
because that moment was not enough
and I need more
that moment was not enough
I'm an addict of love
and now I know the highs and lows
of withdrawl

I fell in love with your eyes
and you closed them shut.

I want to pull you close
and let my fingertips
dance across your soul
and I want your eyes
to reach into mine
and refill my drought
but the magnitude
of fear inside of me
stops me from pulling you close
and letting you know
that I want you to be
mine
