Long Overdue
I’ve waited far too long to give
And get back in return
The kind of hug for which long-distance
Causes you to yearn.
But yesterday, at last, I did
Experience that treat
And got to spend some precious time
To make my joy complete.
When friendship’s deep and close and strong,
The phone keeps the connection,
Though there is nothing like a hug
To share some true affection.
