WHEN I HUG YOU I KNOW THAT YOU NEED IT, NEED THE LOVE SO..

When I hug you I know that you need it, need the love so I pull you in tighter, 
You have the scent of flowers, hands of silk, the heart of a lover, but a life of a fighter. 

That’s why I hold you so close, hoping to melt the pain away, 
You can curl into my arms and chest and stay as long as you may. 

Sometimes it’s overlooked how hard it is for a woman, for her to walk on; 
But for this moment let me hold you, as if I’m holding you up, don’t stand alone. 

I can see it in your eyes and hear it in your voice that it’s been tough, 
Others may back off but I understand why your exterior is rough. 

You’ve had about enough but now you can wipe your tears on my chest, 
Having you here with me makes me realize this amazing woman is blessed. 

Such a woman is hard to come by so it’s not just me hugging you but you’re hugging me back, 
This is our moment to be free and true to ourselves and not let go because we don’t feel trapped. 

So tonight, behind this closed door, I’ll squeeze and hug you as long as you want, I don’t mind; 
Just as long as you’re holding me close too, this hug between you and I requires no time.
