hug of stone

you, 
standing in 
c l o s e 
proximity 
to me,
hands barely 
leaving your sides.
i am close enough to 
hear your angry, 
wounded 
heart beat bleed,
your chest sharp as a rock 
against my head.
i will cling to you. 
if it is the last thing i can do, 
if my words have fallen to 
the ground.
please, 
if you never speak to me again, 
it will always,
always be
we love you, 
we love you, 
we
     l o v e. 

you.
