2 Seconds

2 seconds
a simple hug
such a short embrace
just a little bit of love

a 2 second hug
and a kiss on the cheek
a little something extra
to make her hug more sweet

a 3 second hug
and a kiss on the cheek
a hug and a kiss
for every time we meet

how wondrous is the magic
in the things that show love
the little things that count
like kisses and hugs

to wonder and not worry
with some form of repose
a hug and a kiss
could make one suppose

suppose she likes me
a little more than that
a kiss on the cheek 
is not a pat on the back

it might be something special
or cruelty leading me on
it could be something casual
or something she does for fun

but what if i'm right
and all my second guessing wrong
then it wouldn't hurt to ask her
for more kisses and more hugs

I tell my hubby I want a 10 second kiss in the am before he goes to work. That way he thinks about me a little bit more ! ;)

Great write...Topic about doubts...Hope that it works out if that is what you want..Keep the creative pen flowing..Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my write "I Go Fishing"...Yes I am sure that it is correct for I was looking at the "Bible" when I was writing it..Jesus appeared on the shore and told them what to do...This was after he arose from the grave...It gives me hope that he will meet me where I am and bring me up to a higher level..Sara
