Hugs

"Hugs"
(Written 2/6/05 - 21 years old)

A day, like many others:
Horrible. Difficult.
Unlike those I long for,
Grab at, wish for,
Can't have.
A day - unkind, following a
Night - sleepless.
Turning and twisting
Remaining
Awake.
Now a day...
Soon an evening -
Forever it seems -
Over and over and over, I
Remain living through
More of the same.
Always about to
Burst or to break
Always about to crumble. Until a
Day -
Different than before:
A day in which
You were there,
Interested, caring -
Not judging or
Tearing me down.
Outstretched
Arms, there to
Grab me - hold me
Over and over and
Over. Embracing through the
Day.
Day after day.
And things are okay with
You in my arms
