The hands that held mine

Is it wrong to fall in love with someone
because of the way they hold your hand?
I remember when I was younger,
my mom would hold my hand when I crossed the street.
It made me feel safe and protected,
like she won’t let go until we were safe.
I remember in school,
we were supposed to hold hands when we sang.
The hands were slimy and they smelled bad,
and the feeling was weird.
I remember my friends holding my hand 
when we ran past the guards,
the feeling was exhilarating,
Yet my hands felt empty.
But when he held my hand,
our hands meshed together like a perfect puzzle.
I couldn’t tell the difference between his hand and mine.
He made me feel a thousand emotions at once:
happiness, anxiety, warmth, forever

and most of all, LOVE.

Seriously, is it wrong? I keep falling for him when he holds my hand, 3 years later πŸ™‚
I know I said I won’t post poems or stories for a while, but I just loved writing this one too much that I had to share it. <3

Just thrice

I’ve only seen her thrice.

When I first saw her,
With her nose in between a book,
She was snobbish and rude,
Her eyes stuck to boring pieces of paper.
Instead of interesting old me.
She once danced on stage,
Not as graceful as a swan,
but she was the only one who stood out,
out of all the little ducklings.
She held my hand once,
dragging me to the lab.
She pointed out the scribbles on the table
where I wrote with my name.
She huffed and puffed about being clean,
while I stood there, 
my eyes wandering to her lips,
how sweet it would be to close it with mine.
When she left to get a towel,
I stood there dumbfounded.
I’ve only seen her thrice,
but that was enough to fall in love.

Although fiction, it has been inspired by someone’s status I saw preHaiyan. I just remembered about it now πŸ™‚

Mr. Dream Guy



I’ve always dreamed of someone

Who’ll make his love show

That when I’m sad and full of dismay,

He’ll always know what to say

That everytime I throw a fit and when i’m mad

he’ll calm me down and hold my hand


That when i’m tired and unwell,

He’ll always be there for me,in a ring of a bell

He’ll say sweet things that will tickle my heart

And will promise me that we will never part

He’ll call me in the middle of the night,

Wishing he can hold me tight


He’ll make me laugh to a point of tears,

Washing away all my fears

He’ll take me to walks by the moon,

Making cute faces like a funny cartoon


He’ll gladly hold my hand in front of his friends,

Telling them it was “us” till the end

He’ll run after me through the rain,

Holding me on through the pain


He’ll dance with me though there’s no music

And he’ll steal a kiss real quick

He’ll sing sweet melodies into my ears,

With a song that only both our hearts can hear…
