carefully reaching for your hand
it's the first day I've seen you in person.
I've known you for long enough
that I'm surprised when you grab my hand back.
when I look into your eyes, I see fear, and trepidation, and sadness, but also hope and happiness and love.
I will do everything I can
to keep holding your hand.
you hold mine so gently
so carefully. so kindly.

I will do everything I can

you hold mine so gently
so carefully. so kindly.
