When you can trust someone whole heartedly, you just hold their hand with trust that they’ll lead you regardless of anything. It’s overwhelming and a surprise at first especially when you have never experienced that feeling of warmth, feeling belonged, and assured by just a touch, it could be brief, but it just lets you surrender without the urge to control, you can just be yourself.
A hand to hold on to when you are drowning, A hand to help you pick yourself up.
Precious hands, delicate fingers to caress you and to wipe away your tears,
A skilful lover?
Or
Just a miracle that someone can cook, write, draw, & groom well?
A hand that’s warm when you feel cold,
A hand that can guide you in crowded places,
A slight touch & it sends you into chills because it was that intimate.
I never liked holding hands till I had yours, and I missed your touch & found myself craving it in mine…
A hand that can touch without hurting you, a hand that doesn’t scare you, a hand that can make you just want to melt,
So put your hand in mine & let’s reach places as we learn about love…
Take my hand and lead me on the path towards the destination that you intend to go to,
Take my hand and be my executioner, as I don’t want a lover but a hunter. So take your hand in mine till death do us part,
Take my hand & I promise never to let it go, as I show myself into something else in the forest.
Hands reach places only the heart can feel, yet the most trusted way of showing real love.
Conclusion
I’ve had cold and sweaty hands for most part of my life till I didn’t have a hand to hold on to make me feel warm and accepted like I could feel belonged and loved without any second thoughts. It’s not bothered me, it made me realise that when you trust someone, you can go at all lengths and even become their headsman because they trust you blindly that their love will not execute them.
