I can feel your arms around me

Even though we’ve never made that kind of contact

Your words spoken were like a hug

All of my angst and anxiety is still slowly eating me away inside

Like a specific poison for ridding the world of me

You embraced me with your understanding

You kissed me with your advice

We cuddled in the hushed sounds in the early morning

Wrapped up in sleepy slurred voices and squeaky yawns

I didn’t want to fall asleep into reality

The sad, gut churning moment of my life that I’m doomed to live out

I don’t want to trip and break this fragile thread
