Explanation:

In a simplistic level, figurative language is vocabulary that is employed to transmit a certain idea which is completely different from the actual definition of a word found in the dictionary. This literary device is usually found in poetry, fiction and other works of literature. It is also employed in oral communication (such as idioms).

In this line, the speaker makes use of figurative language to reproduce the image of "the water-like touch of her hand". This gives us the idea of her hands' soft, gentle touch.
