Hands

Give me your hand,
I want to see the world. 
The colors, the lovers, the givers, the takers, the haters and all. 
Hold my hand,
Hands hold memories. 
Hands hold colors. 
Hands held together form a fire like a fire that gives warmth to the lonely hearts on a cold winter night. 
Did you feel it too when you held my hand for the first time? The warmth?
Holding your hand felt like a trip to The Louvre
And I have never been to The Louvre. 
I think I have let you go but I still feel that warmth that tingles and stirs the feelings inside of me when I touch my face with the hand that held your hand. 
My hand feels blood less it craves your hand,
Maybe that's the reason I haven't bled on paper for a long time,
It's cold in need of some warmth.
