getting back to basics

and we walk.

hand in hand
down a path with no clear destination
today the sun warms our cheeks
smiling, we lace our fingers tighter
laughing at jokes from days past
I sneak shy glances into his sky blue eyes

and we walk.

tomorrow it may be raining
fingers loosely touching, if together at all
the space between us grows
words sharp like needles
eyes straight ahead
I sneek worried glances in his direction

and we walk.

as the clouds part
the smiles dance back across our lips
the empty space fills like the spaces between our fingers
I trip
He laughs

and we walk.

Knowing the sun can't hide for long
so we just smile
hand in hand
down a path with no clear destination
together

and we walk.
