Embrace

just like climbing into warm covers,
after a nice long shower.
when i get a hug from you,
its as if i'm counting down the hours.
no, it was only a couple weeks ago that we saw one another,
yet you hug as if you haven't seen me in forever.
you squeeze tight,
not so much that i cant breathe.
it maybe just be in my head,
but it seems as though you just don't want to leave.
i do know you hear,
the hugs from you will cease to end.
so i keep that in mind,
until next time my friend.
