TOUCH

It is not your hands or even your face that I need to hold on to tight.

It is your thought that I need to hold on to tight. And I do. I am at peace that I don’t need anything else from you that I don’t already have.

The purity of your thought is what I had been raised on, and the purity of your thought is what runs through me like sap through the core of the trees. I grew tall.
