Hugs

Hugs for me are greater than sex 
in that one moment the other person is
all that matters. Embracing each other no matter
the circumstance is so understanding. No conflict. 
At least until the hug ends. Than you contemplate 
the feelings that bubble inside once that person walk away.
You let them go even though you'd give anything for just
one more hug. One more moment where you two could just be.    
No additivies or complications.

Hugs can offer great compassion to those in distress. And I always hate for them to end, especially when saying goodbye to someone I love. You touched my heart with this write, Shahana! Love, Carolyn
