It was the softest of touches

It was the softest of touches.
I gently wrapped my fingers around your hand.
Watching you sleep.
With that gentle touch I wanted so much.
I wanted you to feel safe. I wanted to put you in a place of ease. I wanted to let you know that all my love, with that touch, was handed out to you.
I didn't want you to wake up, instead I wanted for you to get a notion of peace.
I wanted for you to continue breathing with ease.

One touch.
A gentle touch.
That was all.
No need for anything else.
No need for legs tangled, for hands pulling bodies closer.
No need.
