How much does a hug cost?. A hug, that sensation of clasping and being clasped in arms, that fusion that goes far beyond bodies.

They embrace each other in a reunion and in a farewell; She embraces herself with joy, with pain, with resignation, with hope. Hugs to give comfort or strength; It is embraced as the ultimate, finished and perfect expression of love. It's a palliative, of course. It will never be able to compete with the “embrace me in your wings so that another air does not touch me but your breath”
