It's been so long since I've touched you So long since i've felt the scratch of the stubble surrounding your lips The kind that I always complain about But deep down i think you know how much I adore It seems like it's been an eternity since I've felt the softness of your skin The way it streches over your bones so delicately My fingers repeatedly outlining the indents of your back Fitting my hands into the deepest curves My lips have never felt so lonely Missing the tickle from even the slightest and most gentle brush of yours against them Forgetting that talking is their main function Wishing that instead their only job was to love My legs hang loosely and awkwardly without having yours to intertwine with And arms rest on each side of my body feeling desperate for companionship Hands locked into oneanother So accustomed to holding Naturally curling inward Craving the rough callus of your palms I did not know That a body could feel nostalgia But a need for touch proves otherwise.
