Still You Held My Hand

You held my hand and asked me to dance We danced and you held my hand You didn’t look into my eyes - Still you held my hand My fingers gently caressed your back You were aware of my barest touch You didn’t look into my eyes - Still you held my hand We danced again, my touch grew stronger You wanted it to, you whispered You didn’t look into my eyes - Still you held my hand We danced together in the crowd There was no crowd just us We danced together you and I - And still you held my hand I wondered what may come I wished for what may happen You wanted to, you whispered As still - you held my hand Your touch I felt so gently At first I wasn’t sure And then your touch came stronger - You wanted to I heard you whisper to yourself I understood your reasons You wanted to, you whispered As still - you held my hand Our lips came close together And just before they touched You wanted to - you whispered As still - you held my hand Your lips touched mine so briefly You wanted to - you would Your lips met mine so softly You wanted to - you could We looked into each other’s eyes You wanted to - you couldn’t We looked into each other’s eyes You wanted to - you wouldn’t 21st January 2019
