Can I Hug You Today?

i hope to be there for you the same way you were there for me thank you. love you.

i like hugs

when im happy

when im sharing my joy with other people

when im offering them support

when im okay

 

i like hugs

but not when im crying

not when im lost

and sad

and weak

and my world is falling apart

and i feel like im giving up

 

i like hugs

when it's coming from you

even if we've never actually done it

or at least not properly

bc im shy

bc when i see you i just want to talk to you

bc im always late

bc im always in awe

 

i like hugs

when i remember you offered it

all those years ago

when you didn't even know me yet

when i was just another tweet

and you asked me if i was around your area

cos you'd give me a hug if you could

 

i like your hugs

i like how i don't remember why i was so sad that night

i like how i hate my birthdays

and you said you're glad it still happened cos it led you to me

i like how that's not really a hug

but it feels that way to me,

warm

safe

 

i like you :)
