Hug

1. "Have you hugged yourself today?" I still remember that question. I was not able to answer it. But there you were, you always so, if you ask questions you have had the answers. "Your arms are too short for your body. but certainly long enough for me." Then you came into my arms and dwelt therein. "Do you still keep that hug?" We asked each other. Then we laughed together. A hug is the only answer to the question. Then buried us into memories. 2. My wife prefer to hug than to say a word: "i love you, boy! i love you, hubby!" As if the two arms can convey all the secrets. Our children grow loving arms more than words. That is why every night my wife prayed to be an octopus. And all of us come into the hugs of her hands. 3. One by one, the body will escape from the hug then our arms began to carry guns and wars. The body was destined to belonged to a hug then later owned by bullets.
