Sincere Gestures


Who ever knew 
     That something as simple as a hug could mean so much
I can’t remember the last time I received a genuine hug 
The last time someone reached out and took me in their arms 
And then there you are offering me a kind embrace
Which is so foreign to me that I at first confuse it for some sort of awkward sideways high-five       before realizing it was a hug              
And then you held me gently in your arms
Your sweater soft and comforting
Your warmth filling me up as a I breathed in your scent 
And awkwardly rested my chin on your sharp shoulder bone
I felt as if I would cry 
Because you had reached out to me 
Like no other 
In the simplest and sweetest of human gestures 
An Embrace
