Dance of touches

They hold my hand and in return I arch my back and smile.

Maybe they even get to land their hands on my waist?

Dance of touches,

They want to hold someone, and 

Am I not just a pretty thing to hold?

I also care about making people happy - 

Lay your hand in mine or may you put it on my shoulder,

but no more than that. Not now.

You see, do not take it personally,

I'm a little needy, little flaky and 

Just a little sad.

I need a lot of you to make me laugh,

Therefore you must take shifts...

A job too big for just one person.

Let me love all of you and laugh with 

All of you and in return,

I will lean on you and let you warm me up.

A charming, whimsical piece... I liked the description, 'a little flaky, a little sad' and the final invitation to warm you up. Captures the fragility of need...

haha thanks, that was the idea. Just revealing this spoilt girl part of me.

Reading it again, the same word came into my mind. Lovely!
