Touch Yourself And You Touch Me
by Judy Burnette
I understand the why
Yet I cannot grasp the how;
But if this is the way you must handle us
I will try to understand somehow.

There is one thing that I ask
As you walk away;
Please create a corner in your heart for me
So at least, there, I can always stay.

You will always be my love
That will never change;
Though we are going separate ways
That fact remains the same.

I know we must let each other go
Circumstances force us to set each other free;
But today, I give back to you . . . your words -
Touch Yourself and You Touch Me.

I love this poem it was great and understanding
LeLe
I love this poem. It tells me and others how we should act and how are love ones and ones that were onced loved are still apart of us in a way that is secret to you, not others. It tells me instead of getting hotheaded at the the time of breakup just ask for him to always remember me in a way that is good

I loved your poem it really touched three months ago me and my bf of 7 months broke up and i am still bealing with the pain. Mostly because he recently told me he had a new gf and i am really upset about it, because i still love him and want him back. I was hoping that in a couple of months we could try again but now the realization that it might not happen hurts a whole lot. I am thinking about telling him but i don't know yet. I hope you keep on writing your poems have a way of touching people's souls.

This poem really touched me. In fact, it brought tears to my eyes. I am right now going through the hardest breakup of my life. The one man that I truly love, and always will love just walked out of my life. This poem is GREAT!
Delisha
I understand this perfectly because this is what I am going through right now. Very touching.
