your hug came
as a
skeptical surprise
i didn't trust it
last time
your interaction with me
was a sharp eye
peering behind a nose
upturned.
i offered you
familiar kindness,
yes, it's true
i did know you before.
but you seemed to
feign recollecting
knowing me
until you
later found out
i just might be someone worth knowing,
even after all this time..
my reputation
walks ahead of me
strong and sturdy,
by His grace
alone.
and what,
now you know me?
in front of
a crowd of others
you align yourself with
me
as if we do
indeed have a history..?
forgive me if
the hug was stiff.
