A Hug For You

A hug for you, should you accept
with arms held out to view.
To squeeze my way around your waist
and hold as others do.

To feel your warmth inside and out
as speechless as I feel.
And hold my breath to keep it going
should that make it more real.

I must let go to growing weak.
Your hug completely full.
Releasing you has brought me comfort
that each of us must pull.

And now to smile and break away.
My love for you apart.
To memorize our being joined,
in each of us a heart.
