I Want a Hug

Never thought I'd be the one to say
How desperately I need a hug today
Some sort of sign that you're still here
Something that shows I have nothing to fear
The drifting away is only something of my imagination
A thought in my head brought on by some random incantation
But your icy blue eyes haven't met mine in weeks
And when put in your presence my tongue rarely speaks
This invisible curtain dividing me and you
Is something I've not been accustomed to
It isn't something I'd like to share, but I must
Because the truth is, m'dear, it's only you I can trust
And it's true I don't love you in that lovers sort of way
But I'd be proud to call you my brother on any given day
I've always thought that our minds were perfectly in sync
These times of great distance leaving me not knowing what to think
I know I'm a mess whose mind usually scatters
But this I know for sure
I want my best friend back before my heart shatters
Never thought I'd be the one to say
How desperately I need your hug today
