I wish I was better at hugging

I dreamt that you were leaving and I wasn't overwhelmed with disappointment or with missing you but the feelings were still there nonetheless. You left but time passed and you returned, much to my surprise, and hugged me. It wasn't any ordinary hug, it was a hug that meant that you would think of me and that I meant something to you. One of those lingering bear hugs.

I don't know why you continue to appear in my dreams, perhaps I project my desires onto you in them. Or perhaps I still have unfinished business with my emotions dealing with you. All I know is that when I think of you, my eyes get glassy and I have to choke back the desire to sob.
