The Hug

Did you ever have just one of those days

When nothing ever seems to go your way 

Things don’t seem right and you wonder why

You feel like you just want to hide and cry

Everything has got you wound up so tight

Your mind is racing so you don’t sleep at night

I used to be able to share all my thoughts with you

But now that you’re gone I’m not sure what to do

I went to church because I was sure you’d be there

But I could not feel your presence anywhere

I ask myself, are you gone, am I now on my own

I’m still not sure if I can continue all alone

That same night I need some sleep so I close my eyes 

You are there in my dreams to my surprise 

You are beautiful and young again lying in our bed

You pull back the covers, “Get in here”, is what you said

I crawl in beside you, I can still see the look on your face

You wrap your arms around me, I feel your warm embrace 

I awake from the dream wondering if that hug was for real

I held you and you held me, your love I could feel

You knew I needed that hug and that you still really care

I should have known I’m not alone, you will always be there
