I wonder if there is a word in the English dictionary that can describe this:
The want, the need for human contact driven by love
But the love is not obligated, as a parent or a sibling that love is dismissive
No, I long for a love that is not required, it's what I write of:

Just a touch, a shoulder to lean on, and arms that welcome the embrace
These people do it in love, because of who you are to them
And how you've touched their hearts, to know that you are no disgrace
For once, to be held by people who love you, to all the rest, I am numb
