A Pair of Hands

Freeverse

He places his hand right here,
below the one of someone else.
That one hovers. He sits.
Is this an intermission?
Perhaps it will fall, slowly, gently;
perhaps it will touch.

The pause continues.
It floats. He waits.
The movie will proceed.
That hand may
continue to descend,
make contact, so very gently.

reminds me of dates in high school....from the girl's point of view...
the attempts of holding hands...
I used to get around that...I would open her car door, and take her hand to help her out and then
hold on for dear life.
