holding my hand Janet Kuypers 04/20/98 when we’re walking in stride together down the street and our feet pump out the same rhythm and our shoulders are almost touching and our hands brush up against each other for one brief moment and he reaches over and takes my hand when he slides his fingers around mine and I feel him move along the palm of my hand well, no one knows what it feels like when his fingers curl and hold me tight well, it feels like pop rocks it feels like when that candy is sliding down my throat after I let it explode on my tongue and it’s still tingling and no one knows I’m eating this and no one knows the feeling and this is my little secret and I feel this feeling like never before and it makes me want to laugh and cry because I look around the room and no one else is eating those pop rocks and no one knows the feeling when he’s holding my hand Copyright Janet Kuypers.
