I wish I could hold you forever,
Wrap you in my wanting arms,
But yet I do know that is selfish,
And my greed will only harm.
Vividly I remember,
The times you shelter me,
From the fear of the world
And the fear of man,
You save me when I flee.
You'd curl your arms around mine own
And hug them up real tight,
You'd give a squeeze to my shoulder there
And say that it's alright.
You'd sometimes whisper really soft
And speak those soothing words,
You'd pat my head and stare at me
And smile right afterwards.
Is it much too much to ask
For just one little hug?
Because I really miss you,
For a very long while now,
Cursed with memories of
Your hug.
