I know I’m not alone when I say that I am really feeling the lack of physical touch since the pandemic. I feel lucky that I have my partner and cats to cuddle up to but I really miss hugging my friends and feeling the warmth and closeness of daily social affection. Fortunately I am somewhat of a tree hugger and am also give myself regular hugs! We’ve have to get creative in these times!

Touchstones

When may we embrace again?

When do we get to hug?

When will I touch your face again?

The separation tugs

When will get to kiss again?

and feel the closeness lacking?

and do the things we miss again?

and send those masks a packing?!

When will find our place again?

I miss the warmth so much

When may we embrace again?

We all need human touch
