All I want is to hug you
To put my arms around you
To hold you in them

But I can’t
The repercussions
Would be to great

The problems that would cause
Because of past mistakes
My mistakes

If I hugged you now
Then people would know
We’re already on thin ice

Maybe it’s good I don’t
Hugs will mean more when I do
I don’t want to wait though

I still want to give you one
No hundreds
I wish I could

But I can’t, not yet
Next time I have the chance
I’ll take it
