My friend once told me 

she liked this guy because of his hands

And I found it absurd that anyone 

would develop feelings over one feature, 

and not care about the rest

It wasn’t until you used your hands 

to cup the back of my neck the first time we kissed 

and I could feel your firm grasp pull me closer, 

and my insides exploded

and my head buzzed with bliss.

And the first night you slept over, 

you fell asleep with your hand 

laid over my stomach 

and your fingers felt like a fire 

that I didn’t mind burning my skin.

The first time we got drunk, 

was the first time you played with my hair, 

and my god I was hooked, 

I’d drink forever if it meant you’d never stop.

And in public you’d hold my hand, 

and rub your thumb in little circles 

that left me wanting you more, 

no matter what you would never let me go, 

I was glued to you, 

and I honestly didn’t mind

When we talked about breaking up, 

you saw my lips quiver with fear, 

and you brushed over my lips with your fingers

before pulling me into your lap 

and you kissed me like never before. 

With your hands on my hips 

pulling me so close to you, 

leaving no space in between us. 

It was then I realized I never wanted you to go

Its now that,

I finally understand why hands

were the only feature that mattered

i cant think of anything rn so this is another one I love, not written by me ofc
