It began with your hands, 
And our fingers interlaced, 
As we traverse the line, 
And slowly, the space. 

Looking for your face as one hand,
Changes the tune, and me?
Secretly grateful, your other doesn't move. 

We hold fast, hold still, 
As this casual embrace, 
Makes sacred a moment once only commonplace

With your lips under mine, 
I've never felt so safe, 
I retrace laughter lines, and I 
Kiss there in the space.

I look into your face, 
The one I know so well, 
As you utter the words, 
I swear I've never felt. 

We hold fast, hold still, 
As this casual embrace, 
Makes sacred a moment once only commonplace. (x2)

Here we are, at the end, 
At a crossroads come too soon, 
I hold taut my sails, 
But inside I'm all monsoon. 

Looking for the moon, but 
Every guide is hidden from view, 
And you, your words, your sentences, 
Seem strangely out of tune. 

I beg to see your face, 
The one I thought I knew so well, 
As you don't say the words, 
You once swore you felt. 

I hold fast, hold still, 
As words so commonplace, 
Dismantle sacred moments, 
once found in our embrace (x2)

As my words fill the air, 
They feel confident and true,
Through my shakinng frame, 
I find the strength to look at you. 

I look to your eyes, 
And to my surprise, 
I find- 
You. Looking back at me. 
I find you. Staring back at me. 
With eyes and hands, 
Outstretched for more, 
Outstretched imploring:

"Can we hold fast?
Hold still?
Can we hold fast, hold still?"

So I hold fast, hold still, 
While words so laced with grace, 
Make sweet bitter moments, 
Fill in wounded space. 

We hold fast, hold still, 
As staring face fo face, 
The storm within grows quiet 
As we melt in
Warm embrace.
