Mere touch of yours

I keep telling myself

It's just phase

But somehere

The anxiety of us drifting away

Lingers

I wave off the feelings to the back burner

But they resurface

I know it's the distance

Between you and me

That intensifies my insecurity

I know it's your heartening touch

Not my sexual inadequacy

That has become my dictating necessity

I wrestle with my groping emotions

That's robbing my significance

And I sink into brooding silence

I am waiting, my love

For that mere touch of yours.
