Just Friends

Just Friends

She says we can still be

Friends

What does that mean?

Means we only hug.

Only? Does she know the 

Power of a 

Hug? 

Wrapped in a loved one's 

Embrace.

Held close enough to feel

Heartbeats.

Dejected silence 

Fills our house. 

A frozen custard date with

Mom

Isn't the same.

Sugar smiles

Sticky fingers

Finally, a laugh.
Mission accomplished.
