i do like u

i mused and mused over much...

such,

was the hold on me as i leaned forward...

onward,

i continued to turn the pages...

ages,

of time captured...

enraptured,

people i would never know...

show,

the way it was then...

when,

to hug and, arm in arm walk...

talk,

would not be of harassment...

absent,

distrust and ill-intent...

bent,

on having a good time...

mine,

the desire to be just like that.

carefree, loving the freedom of tactile human beings for, there be nothing more powerful than a sincere hug , a smile broad, a kiss gentle....a squeeze that says

...i do like u!
