Favorite Quote:
“Nothing can possibly be as cute as David Tennant holding a kitten. Cause the kitten is adorable and then David Tennant is adorable and then your head explodes and you wake up on the floor of your bedroom twenty minutes later with a sock in one hand and a crushed diet coke can in the other. If you’re lucky. If not, you die of fangasm. Although if that happened to me because of Jack, I could probably get Death by Torchwood on my death certificate….”

They don’t understand what they’re doing to me
How much a simple touch can mean
They don’t understand how much I hurt
That inside me I scream

Oh please just
Touch me
Oh please just
Understand
I’m a physical creature and I can’t survive
Without just
A touch of some kind

If you’re mad then please hit me
If you’re proud give me a hug
If you want to show your love
Please physically let me know

Oh please just
Touch me
Oh please just
Understand
I’m a physical creature and I can’t survive
Without just
A touch of some kind

A brush of a hand
Is all that I need
A hug
A stroke of my hair
A physical blow
Or a gentle caress
Please can’t you see
I’m becoming a mess

It’s been three years
Since anyone who understood
So much more
Sense anyone cared to try
I just need a touch of some kind
Please, I feel
Like I’m going to die

Oh please just
Touch me
Oh please just
Understand
I’m a physical creature and I can’t survive
Without just
A touch of some kind

I can’t survive
Without just
A touch of some kind
Please, just
A touch of some….
Kind

I'm a very physical person, and our no-touch society drives me *nuts*! So, of course, I wrote a song about it.
