But I didn’t
Not even a little
I needed it
I had forgotten what it was like to be close to someone
I had forgotten what it was like to be touched softly and kissed sweetly
To be held
To be cared for
And even if it was just for a moment it was worth it
It was worth not feeling numb and broken
It was worth feeling again
It was worth a moment of not feeling empty and alone
