my unbroken heart still yearns to be held

so was it really you leaving that made me desire your touch

or 

was it that i knew you could fulfill something i'd always needed

when i was a kid

my love language was words of affirmation and quality time

hugs were rare and sparked my fire

i didn't even know being caressed was an option 

one day people will hold on

and hold on real tight without the shame and fear and ignorance

that comes with platonic and romantic physical affection in teenagerhood

you will get it, you will get it
