its been so long since ive been touched intimately by another human being. that massage the other day didnt count. it was deep tissue on my back. thats not intimate.

He was petting and calming demons as his fingers worked shampoo into my head. It wasnt sexual. It was intimate. For just 3 minutes, that little head massage almost made me cry, touching something deep and undernourished. it left me wanting more, like a small puppy--hungry and cold. I wanted it to last forever...but if not that, just a little longer.
