He Held My Hand

He held my hand

When I offered it out

And took a stand from it

Everyone kicked him to the corner

Out of the border where I was

Leaving him undiscovered

Unrecovered,

Unknown.


He put an arm around me

Putting my feet up on his leg

Not on a bed but instead

During a movie.

No one begged for the feeling;

It was simply being

a meaning to each other

hoping we don't go any farther

to how close we are right now.


He stroked my hair

giving me a stare

Thinking, "No one could compare-

to the beauty of your flaws."

And I saw he wasn't lying

even if I kept implying that he was.


He kissed the temple of my head

Telling me to get out of bed earlier

Saying, "Your over sleeping's a disorder."

I got cornered

But not back into the place I didn't want to be

In his arms, ironically, made me feel free.


He said, "I love you."

Even if he knew I thought it wasn't true

Because he didn't know how to prove

Things he hasn't proven before.


And though I couldn't say it back

He piled those words up in a stack

Planning to build us a shack,

A home

Where he and I would have a throne.


He held my hand

Even if it was too cold

Compared to his own

Which were warm

Compared to my ice shard hand

He'll stand even if it hurts

And still be able to manage to blurt

Out the words, "I love you."

Asking me, "Do you love me too?"
