Take My Hand?

Just for tonight.

Tell me it’s alright, even if it’s not.

I promise to hold you back. Not in life with goals and aspirations, but I’ll cradle your framed soul and kiss it through the night. We’ll roll around together under the covers and just maybe we’ll find each other.

I hope you don’t mind the silence, it’s just that with you, all words never capture the moments I get lost in. It seems so easy to fall in love, and that’s why I can’t seem to. I love the women I’ve never loved.

I love you now, as I’ve loved you then, and will love you forever. I’ll love you when you’re here or when you are gone. I’ll wish I spent more time with you and that everything we’ve shared was never wrong. The sign of any budding relationship is the desire to run away together, so where shall we go?

Would you like to cross seas and oceans to faraway lands? Are train tracks and highways your preference? How about planes and helicopters to bring us? Wherever and however we are, it’ll be perfect. Just like the way you look at me.

Before we rest, I’ll ask you once more;

Take my hand? Even if only for tonight.
