Holding
There is no knack,
no art,
no skill.
No practice required.
An opening of the arms
a widening of the heart
is all we need
My chest pressed against you
I have yet to find a place
more safe than here
May I stay?
We can learn more about each other
in this embrace
than from sharing aloud
All of our diary entries
Feel me to read me
Your pulse gives me all the back story
I need to understand you
Hold me
if you don't
I will be crushed
beyond repair
