The Hug
I could not forget, the moment when you wrapped your arm around me; the moment you pulled me closer to you; the moment you tighten the hug.
I was scared, I was scared that you refuse to, but you seemed okay when I asked for a hug. You walked to me with your arms opened. I got greedy at that moment, I never wanted to leave your arms.
Your arms wrapped around my petite body and I wrapped my arms around you. Such a blissful moment, the world just stood so still at that moment, can I just stay like that forever?
Slowly, we removed our arms from each others. I turned my back to you and took a few steps forward.
My tears rolled down knowing the time for separation is near. It was not the first time, second or third, it just can't seemed to stop.
Turning my back towards you, hoping you don't see my tears, I guess, I was wrong.
You stood up, walking step by step closer to me each time, gently coaxing me to stop crying.
I lost my fight against my tears, I couldn't stop it, I burst out crying.
You wrapped your arms around me again, just a little tighter this time, pulling me a little closer this time, trying to calm me down.
I wanted to stop crying so badly, so many words left unspoken, but I just couldn't.
You let go of me for the first time, placing your hands on my shoulders, looking at me, thinking what should you do.
You paused for a second, before pulling me back into your arms, but this time you pressed my head against your chest by allowing my head to lean against your chest, stroking and patting my back gently, softly reminding me that everything will be alright and we will meet again. I wrapped my arms around you, I just didn't want to part yet.
Eventually, we both let go of each other. I didn't want to go, just a word from you, I would stay, I would do anything to go back to you. But you didn't.
Ever since that day, I've been reminiscing that moment, I don't want to forget how it felt to be in your arms. I don't want anyone else to wrap his arms around me. I just want you. What about you?
