Having your cheek held in their hand.

Having your tears wiped away by their thumb.

Hugs where they cradle the back of your head.

Bear hugs where you tuck under their chin.

The kisses on top of your head.

The hand squeezes of encouragement.

When they rub circles on your back when you're upset.

Them rocking you in their arms when you cry.

The shoe laces they tie for you.

The rubbing a stain off your cheek with that classic 'lick thumb and rub dirt off' parent move.

The thousand ways a cg says 'I love you. I see you. I got you'.

I am so touch starved right now. Doing big stuff has meant I'm working hard, and really anxious these days. Have patience with me.
