I understand now, when I was young I didn't fully realize why?

I understand why people hold hands:

I'd always thought it was possessiveness, saying "this is mine". But it's about maintaining contact. It is about speaking without words. It is about "I want you with me" and "don't go". ~ Marleens Diary ~

It is a vibrational touch thing,  we need touch like we need water and air and food.  That is just fact.  The children in the polish orphanages died because they were not touched.  That sad and tragic memory of that happening to those children never leaves my mind.

Love ain't fair.  So there you are my love.  Your hearts a mess as the song says.  "You won't admit to it because it makes no sense, but I am desperate to connect,  and you you can't live like this".   Touch.
