If I touch you (scanned notebooks)

If I touch you will you respond? Will you
let me take the next step? Will it feel as
good to you as to me? We spend our lives divided,
each on a different side of some imaginary line
we fear to cross, aching to embrace, but scared
we might not accept the next step such a
touch might bring, aching without reason when
if I touch you there or elsewhere the pain
will each into pleasure, and we might find
this touch in that place is what we wanted from
the start. If I touch you there will you care
enough to let me take the next step?
