The Lonely Times

The lonely times, When you're not here with me, Are harder to endure Now that I have you In my life. I was alone before, And grew resigned, content. But you've opened up a door, And now I want more. You've brought such happiness And laughter to me. I was so numb before. That wall around my heart is coming down, And you're playing a part. It all began so simply With a knock upon your door, And then you invited me in. We shared a long, mutual talk, And then you asked me for a hug. That hug awakened something In us both. Neither of us wanted to let go. We felt so perfect in each others' arms. Six record-breaking, long hugs later, It just doesn't feel right On days when we're apart. It's harder to wait until our next hug.
