A hug

The half-broke news in the afternoon kept on repeating in my mind and I could hardly concentrate on my assignment due tomorrow. I couldn't understand how you could have remained so calm when telling us you are facing such a serious problem though you were reluctant to disclose the full extent of it. I sensed it must be something curled up, knotted and bundled into a choas. I was sitting on the next row as you were speaking and I so much wanted to give you a hug afterwards, yet I didn't, knowing you would burst into tears. I could only silently keep you in my prayers hoping that you will resolve it soon and that I will also gain a friend back. My Christmas card, chocolate and yoghurt rasins might have given you a split second of cure, yet I so much wish you will soon renew sweetness in life with your life-long friend.
