“There is a primal reassurance in being touched, in knowing that someone else, someone close to you, wants to be touching you. There is a bone-deep security that goes with the brush of a human hand, a silent, reflex-level affirmation that someone is near, that someone cares.”
― Jim Butcher, White Night
I want a hug. A hug so reassuring and warm, all my sorrows will fly away – even if it’s just for that very moment. A hug so sincere I can feel the emotions pouring out, and for that moment I can just bury my face into your chest and take in your reassurance.
But I won’t ask for it.
Can I have a hug?
