Hug

You have a beautiful soul; I never wonder why
I need to warm myself near the flame of you,
near the texture of you, bathe in the scent of you.
It is obvious, clear as the laughter from you, quietly
devastating as the touch of you. The thought of you.
To be inside the circle of your embrace. To have
that rare moment, slightly immortal in the time of
your time, sharing the space of your space.
