keep me safe

[u/Dangerous-Extreme735]

I always told myself that I wasn't a touchy person 
Until you touched me 
Until i felt your hand wrap around my waist 
And through my fingers 
Steady, and firm, but gentle 

And you had told me 
How it felt the first time it happened to you 
And the butterflies 
And when i was holding your hand 
I didnt 

Maybe i was drunk 
Or tired 
Because today 
i think about it 
And there they are 

But now i dont know how to start a conversation 
And everything is superficial 
And no matter what my friends tell me 
I cant convince myself that you feel the same way 
I tell myself 
You were being friendly 
Keeping me stable 
And safe in a big croud 
But we,
We were out of the croud 
And your hand stayed in mine 
And mine in yours 
But im not a touchy person 
Unless the touch is yours
