hug

that hug you gave me.
it was real this time, wasn't it.
not some quick, polite
keep you at a distance but
pretend its not
kind of hug was it.
no. 
i could tell it was different.
you could too.
no, that hug was
a genuine squeeze-
it spoke where words failed.
the hug said,
all our grievances 
have been pushed aside. 
there is restoration and rejoicing here. 
i am not suspicious 
and we understand each other. 

i have never felt so relieved and 
the fear of being 
misunderstood finally 
ceased.
