There are those people
That you just want near you -
Their energy is palpable
There's no need for touch.

There are those people
That you always have near you,
A constant variable in your equation,
Their touch so comfortable it's almost like it's not there.

And then there are those
Whose touch you crave.
It's absent most of the time
But when you have it you're filled with indescribable longing.

I know I am one
Who offers a hand, an arm, a shoulder, or mouth
To anyone needing such comfort.
I'll be there.
