Chasing Your Hand


I often asked you why

between us, I am the one 

to chase your hand, hold it

firmly and not let go.


I never did get a simple note

to help me peer into your mind.

You were enjoying your silence

and my confusion.


It is easier now to catch

your hand as the years piled up,

your steps and gait slowing down.

I just wait for your hand


to hold onto my love, my arm.
