i open your hands
stroke them gently with my fingers
and
kissed the palms softly
you smile at me
a little confused
"what are you doing, darling?"
"i have something for you."
i put my hand to my chest
and then put my hand on hers
"now you have it."
"have what?" she asked
staring at her cupped hands
"my heart."
she smiled
and held it to her chest
"i will protect it with my life."
