A Hug

Have you ever missed someone so much

that your insides just continually shutter?

When you close your eyes, breathing in, letting those feelings flow, 

with tears trickling, one by one,

and all you want to do is just give them a hug?

Sometimes you have a friend who can be a little booger

and totally causing much grief.

Not understanding why they do what they do

or why they are so afraid of love,

But all you want to do is just give them a hug.

They pull away, scared of what they are feeling

not knowing what direction to go.

Grumbles and growls, unkind words spoken

being unsure of how to handle the changes,

But all you want to do is just give them a hug.

No matter what may be said, no matter what may come,

the connection can not be broken.

The heart knows, always knows, this is the one

even when they fight those feelings, 

But all you want to do is just give them a hug.

Is this how you feel in those moments 

as thoughts of someone floods your mind? 

When no words, indifferences, or distance can cease the love

awakening you in unexpected ways,

and all you want to do is just give them a hug?
