Hug Me With Your Words

 Hug Me with Your Words

Hug me with your words—

not the loud ones,

but the ones that tremble at the edge of your breath.

The ones you send

when the world feels too heavy

and all you have is a quiet “I’m here.”

Wrap me in the softness

of sentences left unfinished

because emotions got there first.

Speak to me

like I’m fragile, but whole—

like I’ve been waiting for someone

to see the cracks and still choose to stay.

Let your voice be a shelter,

your thoughts a blanket

woven with truth and tenderness.

No need to hold me,

just say the things

that feel like hands

reaching through the distance.

Because sometimes

the arms we need the most

are hidden

in a message that says,

“Don’t go through this alone.”
