cravings

Tonight, craving arms around me, I hugged them perhaps a little longer than normal.

Today was one of those days when I just wished there were arms that would stay around me longer, a chest to rest my weary head upon, maybe someone to play with my hair as I rest my head in his lap in front of the TV while we watch the Late Show, or to draw me a bath, with bubbles, and bring me tea.

I don't often crave such things. I am pretty happy with the way things are. But today the craving was there.

So if I hugged a little too long, that was why.
