THE WAY HE HELD MY HAND

158 15 3
                                    

I hid my face in anguish,
When someone pulled my hand,
And held it between between theirs,
I looked up curiously,
And our gaze met,
I quickly retracted my hand,
And laughed the moment away,
But inside I felt volcanoes erupt,
I could hear my stomach roiling,
I didn't feel weak in my kness,
Because my entire body went numb,
And then I began shivering,
I held onto my bag tighter to calm myself,
But to no avail,
His eyes,
Why couldn't I just drown in them?
His lips,
Why couldn't I just feel them against mine?
The feel of his breath against my cheeks,
Almost made me faint,
Every word coming out of his mouth,
Aroused me for some reason,
I felt hot in an air conditioned room,
Just for a few seconds,
But I did feel secure,
I felt as if I'm not alone,
Someone is there for me,
Someone who'd stay long,
Someone I could write songs about,
I wanted him to hold me again,
Tighter this time,
His fingers entwined with mine,
I wanted to feel the warmth of his hand,
I wanted to feel that sense of contentment,
That sense of satisfaction that only lasted for a few seconds the last time,
I wanted to feel it forever this time,
But some things are historic,
They happen only once in a lifetime,
And that's the beauty of it,
Isn't it?
