30 minutes into the movie
our hands resting side by side
not moving
fingers trembling
how silly is it to be disconnected
when we could just as easily hold hands?
I count down from 10
wait for a while
then I move my fingers over
and yours wrap around mine.
we hold on tight.
hyper aware of every breath
heartbeat
movement
pulse
and slowly, your other hand reaches to cling to mine.
connected
entwined
side by side
later as your arm wraps around my tingling skin,
i realize that I love you
that every inch of my soul longs for you
to be with you.
I am never happier than when your hands are in mine
and my soul sings with a feeling that has been absent for months...
contentedness.
and our closing embrace
and your gentle lips on mine
and we're slowly shedding the fear
I couldn't love you more
