i love your hands
more than you’ll believe me
and more than you’ll ever know
i want to protect them
with all i have in me
as they truly are a marvel
so dainty
so delicate
so dear.
they look so fragile
yet i realise their strength
for i know of
the struggles you have been forced
to endure and fight through.
these soft and elegant fingers
that fit so perfectly
in between my own
while i’m holding your hands
kissing your fingers
i remember how alive i feel
as they glide
so gracefully over my skin
and i know that even
for all the wealth in the world
i cannot ever let them go
