Hold My Hand.

We walk side by side

down the sidewalk.

We're so close,

our hips brush together.

Out of the corner of my eye,

I see you staring

and I start to blush.

Our arms are dangling at our sides,

and I can feel the electric

jump back and forth

between our fingers.

Silently,

I will you to reach for my hand

and hold it tight.

I glance over at you again,

but this time

I can't take my eyes off of you;

You're so perfect.

I take a leap of faith

and intertwine my fingers with yours.

You begin to blush,

and I know that I want to be here

with you

for the rest of my life.
