My daughter used to hug me too,
without me needing to position her arms. 
She used to idly twirl her fingers in my hair,
how I long for that seemingly meaningless touch. 
She described a world around her that I had 
stopped seeing a long time ago. 
What I wouldn't give to argue with her over what
she was going to wear. 
But, oh, would I have said "I love you" as often as I do now?
