hands

can i hold your hand?
when i'm happy in the moment, nothing bothering me, and feeling bliss
can i hold your hand?

i want to hold hands
feel the pressure, the grip of skin-to-skin contact
i want to feel the wrinkles and creases of yours
your fingers and their folds

i want to hold your hand
i don't want to explain why
i swear it's innocent

sometimes i'm your friend and holding hands allows me to feel something raw
sometimes i need a reminder that i'm not only flesh
that i'm not only skin and fingers 
but that there's more to a touch in an impulsive grab

when can i go by and grab it out of the blue?
i just want to hold your hand
