Touch

Something small like the grazing of a finger

Can make me forget how to breathe

Sometimes they won't even notice

But I become overwhelmed

To the point where I forget which way is up

To some, this is the best sensation ever

The beginning of something new

Not to me

I'm too busy panicking to notice the beauty

I'm surrounded by darkness that blinds me

While others will think about it as something happy

I think about ways to make sure it stops

They feel butterflies in their stomach

I feel a chill go down my spine.

It's started by something small,

Barely even a touch

But to me

It's way too much.
