I need a hug. 

No scratch that, 

I am craving a hug. 

I don’t know why but 

I just want somone to wrap 

me in their embrace for about 

3 minutes without either of us 

saying a word. 

While my pillow has 

fulfilled this need for a while, 

no matter how long I clutch it,

my pillow has gone cold probably 

from the waterfalls of my tears and 

without a blanket to provide 

it some warmth.
