Hugs

Do you ever want to just hug people?

Be close to them? Touch them. In a non-sexual, non-aggressive sort of way?

Be near them? In a non-suffocating, non-threathing sort of way?

People. Others. Being surrounded by... not by love, but by... I don’t know...
proximity?

The feeling of others around you. The feeling of a (warm, living, acting) body in your arms. The feeling of someone close to you, knowing that this person wants to be close to you too.
Or at least doesn’t mind.

Knowing that this might be the last time you (ever) see these people?



Do you ever feel lonely? Surrounded by people?
They might be – could be - will be – ripped out of your life, your soul in the (near) future. And you can do nothing about it.
Nothing.
Nada.
Noppes.
Nougat bollen.

Sucks to be you doesn’t it?

If it's any comfort: Not more than it does to be anybody else.
