her hug!

It happened last night! It was about to tick 1 am in a few minutes. We both sat in the living room, spending quality time together after months; my friend sat opposite me in the desk chair. I rested myself on the couch.

We talked for two hours about everything that happened in our lives from the last time we met until now. And there came a topic when I had to pause as I was almost in tears. I didn’t know if I should talk about my feelings. But last night, it felt right. I switched off the light before my tears fell. I didn’t want her to see me crying. Even with specs on, she noticed my eyes welling up.

It’s no wonder she’s my best friend!

As soon as the lights went out, the room became pitch black, and she came near me and hugged me for a few seconds, and I began to sob even more. Maybe this is what we call embracement, the feeling of comfort. She was the first to hug, embrace, and understand me. I’m glad to have her in my life.

I lay in her embrace while the world slept. For years, I have craved that feeling of comfort and a generous hug! Her gentle hug, meant more to me than she could ever know. As she kissed my forehead and whispered that everything would be okay, a sense of peace washed over me.

That night, the very palatable thing that happened, she’ll forever stay in my heart for what she had done.

It felt good, but my mind was flowing with thoughts that I never wanted to lose her while she kissed me on my forehead and said everything would be okay. She wasn’t aware that she had done the best thing in my life.

I couldn’t resist but kept thinking about how I met her, how we became besties from strangers. Our love for each other, though not romantic, is profound and rare. And so, as we held each other in the darkness, I knew that no matter what the future holds, she will always have a special place in my heart. Our connection is unbreakable, and for that, I am forever grateful.

We love each other; we’re not in love with each other. And only a few understand this last line!
