Morning walk in the neighborhood

Morning walk in the neighborhood

2020 has been a difficult year for everyone. Lot of my friends called me whenever the anxiety got better of them. I thought that I was managing everything very well.

Your arms are the safest place. When everything and everyone seem wrong, your arms are the best refuge. They make me feel that I maybe lost but I am not alone. I never realised how powerful hugs could be, till you hugged me. When words are not enough, you are at loss about what to say to me, please hug me. Because it will be enough to calm me. I know we are not cuddling couple, you sweat a lot, you can't be still for long and I have to pee immediately after we settle in most comfortable position. But even in those few seconds, I feel the tranquility of lifetime. Tonight while cuddling you, I had a strange thought, how would I live without this. And the magnitude of my feelings for you scares me. I know for sure I have never felt this before. Humans survive against all odds, but my lips gave out a silent prayer wishing that day should never come when I am left bereft of your warm embrace.
