All I know About It

              I have held hands so many times in my life.              Hands cradled there, vulnerable as the truth                         on the lips of a liar;               hands whose only comfort lie in the moment,                 a temporary stay against the execution                             of parting.               A living sculpture of the passion of calm.              It is this simple act, the holding of hands,             that has taught me what little I know of love...                      I just wanted you to know                      that when I hold your hand                         and you hold mine                   we are grasping, for the moment,                   all there is to know about love.
