Missing Her Touch

It's been two months since my girlfriend and I moved into our first apartment together. We're doing well, but every night when we go to bed, there's this gap between us. She keeps her distance, lying on the other side of the mattress. It started with small things, she got a new job that kept her busy, but now it feels like she’s pulling away from me emotionally too. Last night, I woke up and found myself craving just the smallest touch from her. Something as simple as brushing her hand against mine while we slept. It’s hard to admit how much this is affecting me.
