I hug him tightly
watch him walk off
with his long steps
not looking back
knowing I'll be there
when he gets back
Only 50 minutes go by
and yet i miss him
yearn to be in his sweet company

I hug him tightly
leaning my head on his chest
I hear his heart beat
the perfect height
I feel his warmth
and smell his comforting scent

I hug him tightly not wanting to leave the comfort of my second home
right there in his arms
even if for only another 50 minutes

It may seem pathetic
but its how I feel
hold his hand until the
tips of our fingers fall
wishing for 50 minutes to fly by
so I can hug him tightly
how tightly I hug him
