A Long HUG!!!

Isnt it a grt?

3 seconds, only 3 seconds

why do people give such quick hugs
why do they barely touch you and then pull away
what is the rush

why do they only come on birthdays or holidays
or from the one you love
i have gone a long time without a hug
and when one is given, it's usually a must
and it doesn't last long

i want a real hug
one that holds me for minutes
and holds me real close

i want to listen to the rhythm of your heart
and find familiarity with the song
i want it to silence our voice
and let our hands do the talking

i want to rest my head in your shoulders
and feel the comfort of your weight

i want enough time to drink in your scent
so that it stays with me long after you've left

i want to lose my fingers inside your hair
and have our bodies form a single silhouette

i want to be near to your heart physically
and find release in knowing that it's not beyond my reach

i want enough time to close my eyes and smile
to linger sweetly in this embrace

i want a real hug
isn't that why we have
these hands, these arms....
