Scared. Too
Scared of what
                                                            ­              You
Would do if I just grabbed your hand.
Never did I think that you would
                                                           ­               Let
Such a thing happen. I could only
Hope to feel the creases in your palm, the
Soft, warm grasp of my
Heart, held in yours.
I was frozen in my seat by
Fear of what you'd do to
                                                              ­             Me
If I just tried to
Hold you.

But you were scared too.
We got on the roller coast and the
Sudden rush made you
                                                             ­             Hold
Your breath. You needed security.
You couldn't let
                                                             ­            Your
Life flash before your eyes as you rode
This death machine
They call a roller coaster!
When you were afraid, you found
What you needed.
I was afraid, so I wouldn't.
You were afraid, so you would:
You closed your eyes and grabbed my
                                                              ­           Hand.
This actually happened.
It needs some editing, so I guess this should only be considered a draft.
