Humans crave touch as much as they crave food and sleep. Touch is one of the most primitive senses, one of the first to be developed around 8 weeks of gestation. With skin being the largest organs of our body, it would make sense that touch is such an important sense.

Maybe that's why I so hungrily stare at all your exposed skin. I can't tear my eyes off of your body when it's in my near vicinity. I am thirsty, and the thought of your legs tangled up in mine like grape vines- of your touch becoming wine quenches me. I am hungry and the movement of my lips kissing yours satisfies my desires by filling my stomach with phantom food. I am yearning to crash my lips onto your neck, and your cheek, and your lips, like ocean waves repeatedly colliding over rocks. I covet images of your skin, and before I fall asleep, I create constellations out of the freckles on the back of your neck.

For too long I have been starved of skin, I am craving your touch.
