Sudden Realization

As close as two people can get
without stripping down
is what we were that day
A week's worth of anger, hurt, and confusion
that came to a grinding halt in two lines
displayed in front of friends
Then we came together
two people wounded
by each other
I pulled you close and wrapped you tight
and felt the weight of my sadness
emotionally and physically
as you put your arms around me
and hugged me back
I can still feel you close to me
and I never wanted to let go
And that was the day
when you were in my arms
and you held onto me
as much as I held onto you
that I realized
I think I may love you.
