i remember how each touch felt.
soft,
warm,
safe.
and they always gave me chills.
(you always gave me chills).

i burned the knuckle on my middle finger tonight.
i didn't feel the sting until i brushed it against my duvet cover.
i didn't feel it.
i couldn't feel how your touch burned me the same time it soothed me
