To Hold Your Hand

I can’t even begin to describe,

The absolute joy; the warmth; the elation;

That came over me that moment,

Even if for just a moment,

That you took me by the hand.

I can’t even remember the last time

I wanted something so small to last forever.

 

All I’ve wanted to be is closer to you,

In every way possible.

To know your biggest dreams

And your deepest fears.

And if somehow those things

Magically lined up with mine,

Only then could I show you

How big I can smile.

 

But that night,

Despite

All the distractions that were,

That was the one thing that I know

I did not merely imagine

On a drunken night.

 

But right now, I’m okay.

Here; far away. From you.

But I have that moment;

Even if it’s only mine.

Of that one moment when our hands

Intertwined.
