CAN I HOLD YOUR HAND? Just for a few seconds? Just to know what our skin feels like together. I won’t flinch when our hands are intertwined. To see if the scars on your hands and the ones on mine, a puzzle, fit. Will you pretend? That you want what I want, that our hands tell our secrets, reveal their stories. Just for a second pretend, our hands are still burning with warmth. I know I don’t like to be touched but I promise I won’t flinch.
