If I'm a teenager, please touch me. Don't assume that since I'm almost an adult, therefore, I don't need to know that I still care about you. I miss your caring hands, I need your gentle voice. When I hard time in life, the child in me again needs attention.

If I'm your friend, please touch me. There is nothing that will tell me that I'm important to you, how full of feeling hug. When I'm depressed, just one gentle gesture to assure me that I love, And confirm that I am not alone. Perhaps your cozy embrace is the only thing I get.
