Untouchable

I was Untouchable
My emotions roped in place
Never feeling more than I wished to
...
I was Untouchable
But this disease,
This curse,
Crept into my body
Silently seeping into my skin
Wiggling into my veins
Overtaking my organs
...
I was Untouchable
Until he told me that he loved me
...
I was Untouchable
Until I realized that I loved him
...
Now all I want is for his touch
