A Hug?

As I stand and watch,
I see something unsettling.
Someone nearby,
Has embraced a friend.

I don't understand,
How that's a good thing.
I have always believed,
That it's queer to hug.

At one point in time,
I used to be a hug monster.
But sadly, someone,
Has perverted that in me.

Hugs are the most,
Unsettling, unfimiliar,
Not to mention, uncomfortable
Thing for me to conceive.

Perhaps, one day,
There will come a time,
When I will be able to accept,
This form of affection once again.

Until then though,
It's sad for me to admit that,
I'm selective with whom I hug.
Who knows, that may change.
