Touch is underrated. People just use you for your body, kiss you like it means nothing, hold your hand without the tenderness, hold your waist so hard like you're going to leave them.

But I don't want you to touch me if it's gonna be that way.
I want you to hold my hand like it's fragile not like I'm slime slipping out so you have to crush my bones.
If you're gonna touch my skin then do it nicely not disrespectfully.
If you're going to hold my waist just be fucking gentle.
And last of all if you are going to kiss me...
do not shove your tongue down my throat.
Is that too much to ask?
