My Life and Other Sad Things

i remember when we first held hands.

i remember when we first held hands.

i was the second girls hand you have ever held

and so were you to me.

that feeling

the feeling of first seconds

the seconds that passed

we weren't actually apart of them.

it was like a spotlight came down on the two of us

but no one was there to watch.

instead we watched each other

and savored the moment.

that was our moment

concealed under a leather jacket

like two detectives discovering

the miracles of first seconds

as if it was our last.

-holding onto you.
