Something I need to survive...
~Touch~
Much like a child needs it. I like my hair "played" with. Just fingers run through it I suppose. I get weak for this, just instantaneously relax. Maybe because it's been awhile since I've had something like that, dunno. Same with my face. Just to have someone's hand gently hold my face I melt.
My mom used to lightly scratch my back when I was a baby, that's how she'd get me to go to sleep. And when I was a bit older she used to just scratch it for me and there I'd go, relaxed.
In a way, I'm a cuddler. I loved to cuddle up to someone's back, to press my forehead or face up to someone's back, scrunch up low enough of course. Something reassuring about it. Much the way some people feel secure being held, I mean even I do, but for me, pressing up against someone's back is security to me. Doesn't make sense I suppose.
Just a simple thing. Babies develop faster and better with touch, but I don't think it ends there. Even in "Live as a House" Kevin Kline's character hadn't been touched in a very long time (perverts can stop reading now because I wasn't referring to any dirty type of touch). A nurse touches his face and you can just see how he's missed it and needed it. We still need it so that we can be healthy, it's my belief. That's my odd little rant out of nowhere.

And you were worried about not feeling special. From what I read in the comment from havok, it looks like they made you feel really special. Good for you to get some.
I did know a couple of people who didn't need touch, so I would disagree that everyone is a "toucher". For the most part, touch can heal, but there are a few out there that can survive without it.
i love playing with someones hair. and i agree. i havent cuddled in a while and i miss it dearly.
hope you had a good birthday :)
Meh, I'll admit I was a tad "not there" when I wrote this post and a bit worried of what people would say or think of it. Thanks for catching my typo Havok.
Oh, yeah, and no, everyone is not a toucher. And everyone does not like to be touched.
I reread your last writing, and it made me think about how you like to have your face against a person's back. Maybe it is sympolic and comforting, saying "I've got your back, and it makes me feel important." I had a cat that liked to sleep the same way, and if there were a mouse to attack me, I knew she had my back.
Hehe, that sounds cute...hmm now I must re-read my last poem...
Eh I misunderstood, you said last writing I read it as last poem...oh well.
