In memory of a young lady I met one afternoon sitting on a bench, and I could see she was upset, I asked if she wanted a hug, and to my surprise she nodded, and I went up to her and held her. She broke down crying and I held her until she was done. No question asked. And I left her.

Embrace, mere token Relinquish comfortably With endearingness Selflessness, and tender heart Spirit of Truth Impression

You have the right spirit and expressed it so very well. For me a Tanka is hard to write. You made it look so easy! Solid 7 and good luck in the contest!
