On: Needing “12 hugs a day for growth” -According To Famous Therapist

When I’m stretching

I start out in a position

And deepen it slowly

Through each exhale

 

When i'm with you it’s the same

I’d start out unsure of the feeling of being in your arms

My heart beating fast in response to yours

Unable to relax because I am with you

 

Then I realize

I am with you 

I am safe

I breathe

 

Deepen the feeling 

Am calm

And pretty soon 

I feel you are too 

 

With each breath 

We deepen into each other a little more 

Hardly moving 

But with every movement

With every breath

We feel 

 

When i’m done stretching 

I typically slowly ease out 

Of the position 

Move on to the next 

 

With you

I don’t want that

The feeling of leaving your arms

Going, fleeting

 

I want to stay, breathing each other in 

Back in your arms 

Deepening the feeling

Of us together

 

Of us
