I was crazy about you, but I didn't know what to do. It was paralyzing. There were so many times when I wanted to take your hand, but...I couldn't. That one small move felt impossible."
Now I'm staring at my hands, too. "I would have let you take it."
"I know." His voice croaks.”

“If we were not so single-minded
about keeping our lives moving
and for once could do nothing,

and of threatening ourselves with death
Perhaps the world can teach us
as when everything seems dead
but later proves to be alive.”
