Her hands
I've clutched them before
Her hands
I've felt them before
But never so cold.
Her hair
I've traced them back before
Her hair
I've laced them on my fingers before
But never so rough.
Her *****
I've felt flesh beneath before
Her *****
Full of life
But never so out of breath.
I hold my face in her hands
I try to breathe my life into them
I spot her wrinkles
I spot the sagging skin
She's never felt so old to me
She's been this old
Moved on with time
Moved together with time
But never before.
