it is not inherently sexual

a longing to be close

to simply lie together, bodies mixed

the desire for touch-

for that intimacy you do crave 

could it be bad-?

no. not inherently-

for you though, it is.

you will never experience such closeness

being comfortable in your own skin, so deeply comfortable in someone else's presence

to have someone you can simply lie with, for your nakedness to just be intimacy, and not a sexual thing

for someone to be so utterly in love with you, to have that same desire for touch

I am touch-starved

aching for an intimacy I will never experience 

I want love, true, deep love

is that too much to ask?

this world is so hard for a hopeless romantic 

I've not even had a first kiss

oh what it would be like, just to love and be loved

I fear I will never get that though-

no one could ever love me

why would they?
