"Because you _know_ that when someone's holding you as close as they can you feel safe..."

funny... i, too, have been contemplating this very thought... it's effects on me... etc.
I think we oft forget the actual need human beings have for comfort, touch, and such. I could have melted on the spot when little zaiah came running up after me yesterday morning... desperate... so afraid I was going to leave without hugging him! *super-sigh*
Sometimes you just need a good hold, squeeze, and sustain... *tear*
