Hold Hands

Boy without 
till the thought begins to form
tell me what you think of me without the use of words

Girl indeed
leave your mind and let it grow
you have to stop or you'll dull down

Hands evolve
they thrive to touch and hold
but then they also close too much and push away

Make your mistakes
breath in the pain
cry till you break
beat down your tongue
till you can't say any more

dance till you've fled
laugh and forget
hug then embrace
kiss till you taste
that you should stray to bed...

Girl without
till you let forgive and stop holding back your want
tell me how strong you are when your alone

Boy indeed
leave your easy pace and start running to show
you have to be more then what she knows

Hands; wait
they will not share your thoughts 
they will freely move to quench their fingertips

Boy and Girl
will you hold hands long enough
to become a man and woman together?
