Valentine's Week, Day 6: Hug Day🫂

We call each other
At the exact same time
And after struggling
For a while, we
Finally get to speak.

He tells me
How sorry he is
And wants to
See me again
But do it right this time.

I'm too stunned
To even utter a word
And he thinks
He accidentally
Said something wrong.

He proceeds to say
"Oh how I wish
You were here..."
I manage to say in
A little voice "Same here..."

He then declares
That he's ready to do
Whatever it takes
To be with me again
And to make it up to me.

He asks me out
On a date
And I agree
Making sure that I
Heard him correctly.

We both arrive
Right on time
A huge smile
On his face
And tears in my eyes.

We look at each other
For a long time
Basking in his apricity,
I start crying.
So he hugs my tears away.

"I'm so sorry"
He keeps whispering
In my ears
While I keep my face
Buried in his chest.

He holds me tight
In his embrace
And I tell him how
He has always been
My safe place.

His huge bear hug
Is all I needed
To let it all out
And I tell him how
I wish time froze.

That I could live
In his arms forever
And that I'm
Not leaving him
Now, or ever.

"It didn't take much,
Did it?" I tease.
He gently laughs
And looks at me
With natural ease.

Happy Hug Day, dear readers!🫂
