she held his hand in hers
gripping tight

because
she was afraid to let go

in fear of him leaving
fear of him

running away

so under the glittering stars
she let his hand go

for a split second

and fell right into him
toppling over

she stretched her hands
around his waist

resting her chin
on his chest

where his heartbeat thumped
reassuring her

everything is alright.
