Analysis of Touch
To be touched
Not skin to skin
Not the feeling of that temporary moment of intimacy
But to be truly touched
Exchanging thoughts by eyes
Questioning whether this is greater than just chemistry
Greater than the only thing people from the outside looking at us can see
Touch not by hand but by heart
Touch in a way not scientifically possible
Something only understandable by a love infected soul
Creating something beyond what you know and ever felt
That indescribable touch
