It is in crying that I hope, with every tear released, drops of sadness, of loneliness, of quiet depression would squeeze out of me. But no matter how hard i cry, there is no substitute to the immediate effect of a tight hug - an intimate hug which squeezes out all the sadness and loneliness and leaves me comforted. Safe. Not Alone. I'm terribly, heartbreakingly longing for one of those hugs right now.
