Hugs and Cuddles ... The MaNan Way
"What would you give ...? To be wrapped up in love's warm embrace."
***
"What would you give ...? To feel the warmth of love entrapping you, in a tangle of limbs and kisses."
***
"What would you give ...? To feel fragile and protected."
***
"What would you give...? To feel there's someone holding the light when all others have left your in the dark."
***
"What would you give...? To feel the presence of your love when all is at stake."
***
"What would you give...? To feel your love breathe when yours has been snatched by your love's misery."
***
"What would you give ...? To feel someone holding you close with an unspoken promise that they will never let you go."
***
"What would you give...?"
"Maybe... Everything."

Many a time in life there are those moments which cannot be completely explained by things that we lesser mortals resort to... the words. Some moments are best left to the language of the heart and it's moreover best to leave the heart to do the speaking. Those moments are the ones when we get the hugs, the cuddles and the snuggles.
A hug, a cuddle, a snuggle, a nestle... an array of words that bring summertime to the heart even when it's the spell of torrential rains in life. Though these very words differ from each other, with a slight shift in the degree of emotions; they all serve the purpose of brightening the lives of the ones in the hug, cuddle, snuggle. These very things have been synonymous to many things and have been defined in detailed and much coherent manner by the experts, right from the Oxford Concise dictionary to the Wikipedia.
But one look at MaNan and you know all that these very words mean. These mere words come to life with MaNan in the best possible manner.
Every time they hug, cuddle or snuggle... they spell EUPHORIA in Caps. Each hug and cuddle encapsulates itself with many unsaid emotions that scream out loud, inaudibly. Did I even make a sense there with the paradoxical line above? If not read further as I try yet again to articulate what I feel as I see MaNan manifest their moments.

Sometimes these very manifestations have time and again medicated the anxiety that comes with being MaNan; soothed away the pain and fear that comes with being MaNan; portrayed the irrevocable love that comes with being MaNan.
***
Sometimes this very hug encompasses every bit of their broken identity into a whole person again; reinforcing the fact that no matter what they wouldn't leave each others' side; No matter what they have each others' back. In a hushed tone it speaks to the broken heart that the other would love it with every broken piece.

Sometimes when she buries her head in his chest and snuggles in the cocoon of his arms and he spins his silk chrysalis around her tightly... They speak with their heartbeats in rhythm... Each heartbeat speaking out to each other in the most understandable language... LOVE. They know that life would lead them to different places; that they would embark on journeys taking them to unknown territories of life but they are at peace because they know that the anchorage that their hugs and cuddles give them would always make up for it all and that they would always have a home to return to. For they know when they hold each other they have their worlds right there within the confines of their arms.
***
Sometimes their hug whispers that he respects her as an equal but also that he has this parental instinct to cradle her like a cherished child. In that very embrace she finds her worries face defeat and her flickering flame of hope finds the very hands that will never let it extinguish.
***
Sometimes he hoists her up in the twirly hug giving her the wings to fly and she knows he'll always be the wind beneath them letting her soar higher and touch her fireflies and his stars.

You may wonder why so much banter about the hug and cuddles... It's just like the times when you see something that brings you joy in the truest sense; or when something warms your heart... the minute that happens, an upward curve is already up on its way to brighten your face and crinkle your eyes. That's what hugs and cuddles do... And that's what MaNan do to me every time they have their moments. There are so many such moments they have and yet each moment makes you yearn for more. I could write for each such moment, but then I'll spare you the torture of my incoherent thought, knowing quite well that however hard I try, I may still fail at doing justice to what they do...all thanks to my limited vocabulary. They make me smile and wish from deep within that all beautiful people out there, ought to have these precious moments as well.
So hoping that you lovelies have your moments that bring that smile and contentment to your face and life...I hope those make your day in some or the other way...everyday.
I know that what my words may have failed to do what the wonderful avis and gifs would have done... They would have articulated beautifully what I may have failed at. So here I thank to all the wonderfully talented avi makers of this forum... Areyaar, okthanksbye, Cherry, and some whose names I may have missed (not intentionally of course!). Know that your works have brought smiles to many ...so thanks!
Till we meet again... All I say is ... Dear ones keep that smile intact for I like smiles and...
