Just to hug

My heart overflows
And bursts with tenderness.
I don't know why you're so harsh sometimes,
I know of the deep wounds in your heart.

We're so alike, and I want to mend those wounds,
Or make them smaller.
But when you snap at me,
My wounds bleed more fiercely,
And I have to flee from you.

Though most of all, most of all,
Most of all I want to hug you.
Just to hug, just to be near,
To calm your storm and mine within.

To hug, to hug, to hug, to find solace,
And feel peace.
You're safe.
And I won't hurt you.
(Trust...)

Like the Beast from Beauty and the Beast,
You're so distrustful and fierce.
But behind the clawed paws and horns and hide,
Lies a tender heart...

We're so alike, and I want to mend those wounds,
Or make them smaller.
But when you snap at me,
My wounds bleed more fiercely,
And I have to flee from you.

Though most of all, most of all,
Most of all I want to hug you.
Just to hug, just to be near,
To calm your storm and mine within.
To hug, to hug, to hug, to find solace,

And feel peace.
You're safe.
And I won't hurt you.
(Trust...)

(I will love you as deeply as my heart allows)
