Hold My Hand

 

You hold my hand in yours; your thumb softly, lovingly caressing my skin.

It’s a simple action, really, when you think about it. But it sooths me, makes me feel at ease… in peace. It’s all I focus on and I try to memorize how it feels like.

The gesture is simple, mundane yet it means so much. It tells so much.

Everything’s going to be okay.

I’m here.

Don’t be afraid.

Believe in me.

I smile and let you hold my hand longer. Every other thought flies out of my mind until only you fill it.

I feel peace.
