He just wanted a hug 

But I went ahead and kissed him 

He tried to keep pace with my thirst 

But faded 

We ended abruptly

With the looming fear of being caught

I came back with my heart thudding

Low, eyes brimming

I realised what I have been missing 

All these years

The touch of a man

It has been more than a decade of hibernation

In the passage of heartbreak and deceit

I lost myself somewhere

But that chance encounter soaked my being

The mere touch of his soft hands on mine

I realised I was still alive 

Somewhere

Somehow 

I knew he desired me like others 

And I still imbued with love

End of the story.
