“I Just Want To Be Hugged so I Can Fall Asleep Feeling Warm”

I’m crying and I feel a tear fall down my cheek and roll under my chin but it does not stop I feel this lone tear drip slowly, reverently down my throat and I hold my breath so as not to disturb it as it begins its descent between my breasts I want nothing more than to quell my urge to push the fabric of my shirt against my skin to make it stop but I can’t and it tickles but it hurts and I am so lost in trying not to stop it that I don’t notice when I can no longer feel it at all
