RUST
A hug
Sweet awkward embrace
You too tall and I too short
A tingling sensation running up and down my arms
My head spinning, whirling
An instant of daydreams
I couldn't understand
You're you
I'm me
How could this be?
My heart was pounding
My mind leaping and frolicking in an odd fantasy
Laying in bed together
Your arm draped over my little body
As soon as it was there
It was gone
You were smiling
Complimenting me with your affection so hard won
I grinned it off
Laughed away and continued work
Yet as I lay in bed waiting for sleep to join me you were there
You were on the edge of my vision
Standing stoic
I couldn't tell if you were waiting for me to say something
Or simply there to remind me of our connection
