Do not listen to 'Warm Love' on your own

it has been 10 days since i last touched another person.
i once took an online quiz that told me
my primary love language was touch.
never really believed it till now,
but here i am on my 3rd hot waterbottle of the day,
4th cup of tea
5 jumpers deep and swathed in a knitted blanket
and yet
it's still not quite a hug.

Student and newly fledged writer of poetry, Ellie is really enjoying being frank with my feelings in an exhibitionist manner (her Venus is in Aries so it makes complete sense).
