The Lingering Hug

A hug is just hug 
Until it is not just a hug, but a hello-hug; 
A nice-to-see-you-I-missed-you-hug; 
A let’s-sit-on-the-sofa-cuddle-hug; 
A tickle-attack-hug; a bedroom-hug. 
  
A hug is just a hug until it is not a hug, 
But a memory of a hug, 
An I’m-sorry-but-it’s-over-hug, 
An I’m-so-glad-to-have-met-you-hug, 
A goodbye-hug. 
  
A hug is just a hug until it is not a hug.
