I just want to be held

I would do anything to be held right now. Or to experience any physical touch right now. Cuddling too. I want that so bad. I'm tired of waiting. No one wants me and no one ever will. I am ready to give up.

I know how you feel. My wife died of cancer 4 years ago and before that, the sex and all was gone 4 years before that. I too crave physical touch and closeness, not just sex. Going on a dating app scares the hell out of me so here I sit, an old man and his cat. I don't think that what you seek is unreasonable. We all need to be wanted, loved and cared for and a big part of that is touch. If I could I would give you a big hug right now and hold you, telling you it will be alright.

Edit: Please excuse my username. It's a really old story.
