your words define you
yet we're human
we say things that we don't want to
that we didn't mean to
let me hold your hand just this once
i'll guide you
the rays of sunlight gently land on the tiled floor
the white luminance of the hallway walls
with each step we take
echoed throughout the building
mistakes are meant to be seen
yet you shy away from me
thinking that its embarrassing
i tell you its okay
a heartbeat thumps faster than i could perceive
you grip my hand tighter
a reassuring scent of lavender
that lays rest in the air
never straying far away from its roots
you turn to me, and smiled
the rays darken
your hair glints in the shadow
you reach in closer to me
and our faces meet
and lips caress
"thank you"
