i just want to hug you one more time

before we break this thing apart

i want you to hold you like i used to

i want to feel your racing heart

you could even pretend to love me

if only for a few seconds more

no games no shame

and no keeping score

i want to melt into your arms

as you hold me one last time

i always found warm comfort there

in your embrace all was fine

now there's no you no us and no me

and this i did not see

and now i stand here unravelling

the you in the us

was the best part of me

i wouldn’t be here now without you

i will savour what we once had

i don't know what else to do now

i feel mad and sad and bad

so pretend for moment

and for a minute step back in time

give me one last hug to cherish

like you used to when you were mine

sad poetry
