One Untouchable

I thought I had...
Been untouchable.
And then you came...
With a touch,
That got inside of me.

I thought I'd come,
To leave alone...
But meeting you,
Came to change...
So much those possibilities.

And maybe if you knew,
What it felt to feel denied...
You'd know what's been there,
Deep inside...
Trying to quiet those sighs I hide.

You don't know what it's like...
To be the one untouchable.
No!
If you knew what that's like...
You would touch me,
All the time.
Knowing what it is I wish.
And knowing what is wished I miss...
You could replenish.
And more.
