The first time we hugged
I grimaced
Apologetically
I'm an awkward hugger
I said.
Since then our hugs
Have become norm
Every meeting
And parting
And a few times
In between.
And I have come
To love
Your arms around me
With my head
Snuggled
Against the crook of your neck.
But now
At night
When I am alone
I crave your warmth
And your embrace.
