I come back inside
cold from the windy winter day
worst day to wear a short sleeve
but
you know about my bad decisions
I sit down
hands, face and feet numb
"My hands are freezing!"
I rub them together
no warmth
You watch me
suddenly
grab my hand
interlock our fingers
my heart stops
I cease to breathe
from the cold
or you
I'm not sure
You laugh
I look down
I interlocked my fingers wrong
How did I fail so terribly?
Oops
Readjust
I am happy
and warm
from your warmth
or the rush of unexplainable emotions
I'm not sure
