Welcome to the tail end of the holiday season
Where everything comes at a cost of time and money
Even vacation time comes at a price of getting used to it
Looking forward to some serious rest and relaxation
Turning my laser pointer focus onto something more tangible
An allusive loved one with a work schedule that only vampires love
He hates slugging through it, but needs to for the money
Makes the time we spend together all the more precious
Sounds a little like a lame romantic comedy
Don't care what the cynics says about this real life love story
Can't stop thinking good vibrations about him
Power of suggestive thoughts stronger than ever
One image of them or a familiar scent pulls them to surface
Don't misconstrue that as an sign of co-dependence or anything
Not in my nature in the slightest; something to look forward to
A break from the routine of a generic cubicle dweller existence
Just a chick enjoying the lure of a strong loving feeling
Doesn't have to be much of anything to gain satisfaction
A simple hug, a kiss or a long session of couch cuddling
Affection comes in all shapes, sizes and fabulous colors
That can only be purchased online of course
Where you have to pay for copious amounts of shipping
To get before the holiday madness hits fever pitch
Ready for some good old fashioned holiday cheer
In a form a long soothing hug from Mr. Wonderful
Might sound like it's very little, but a little goes a long way
Ready to spend some quality time with him
This week has been an arduous one
Eager for it to be over and find comfort in his arms
Surprised that this tough lady could be so vulnerable
It's the truth, so take it or leave it
If it's the latter, not my problem.
A little tenderness that goes a long way.

So honest. Iused to hate worki g those midnight tours, being away from my wife. The only thing i got was the smell of her on the pillows and sheets because we were two ships passing in the night. So glad those days are over. But you are right a simple hug can bring about so much emotion. Nice work
