The title of this powerful poem really does fit perfectly to the tone and content inside. This poem screams of longing for that lover back, to feel his touch again, to feel connected to him - even if it is by a trace of his fingertips. Such a sad write, an emotional story, yet I feel it is well portrayed through the authors wording. Longing is felt from the start of the poem, and long after the reader has finished reading. Touching poem.
