I hugged someone else today,
It simply couldn't do,
It helped her in a time of need,
It felt plain as could be,
The problem....it wasn't you.
I hugged someone else today,
It just wasn't the same,
The tone was different,
The smell wrong,
Not even the right name.
I hugged someone else today,
But not for reasons I could hide,
Coughed up emotions,
Spoke a lot of missing you,
I may have even cried.
I hugged someone else today,
The feelings just weren't there,
No warmth,
No solace,
Only misplaced care.
I hugged someone else today,
I feel like I acted,
She was in need,
and desperate,
But my mind, my heart, were distracted.
I hugged someone else today,
It was useless to do,
My heart, my mind,
All my emotions,
Are still here with you
I hugged someone else today,
To be a helping friend,
I thought only of you,
Coming back to me,
I just wanted it to end...
