It Happens All the Time

No matter how close I get I can't hold a grip. 
The more I squeeze the more you slip. 
They look like strong hands but just understand. 
You slip right through like grains of sand. 
No matter how hard I try, I can't make you mine. 
These words I write ; to you are just scribbles in a line. 
... And it happens all the time.
