I could hold your hand forever.

Put it in my pocket and adore it whenever

the mood strikes.

Would you be alright with that?

Going around one handed to prove that you’re mine?

Telling everyone you abandoned it

so I could have time with you?

We both know it’s not the same, but

it’s the best you can do

given the circumstance

that you’d rather be mostly alone

even if it means opening jars is more difficult.

I can see why you may decide to go to

extreme measures

to protect your solitude.

I like to be alone too

only know I have your hand to take care of.
