How To Hug

i may be the last person to tell you this i may be the first too when i stopped to exchange time with you i saw sincerity there you did not hear about the troubles, the trials and misguided thoughts what you got was my entire moment of time i know the news as of late is bad i know there are others not as willing to hear i know you stopped to listen to an exchange between two the courtesy of the beginning of my loving you there will be no complaint in my words here no attempt at a wisdom meant to harm you quite simply get the best i leave you with know this my fellow exchange i have come this far, thus far. . . and walked away to keep my arms open for you for the day you finally learn how to hug
