I Want To Hold Your Hand

'I Want To Hold Your Hand'. Heck, the Beatles got it right. I want to hold your hand. Not 'I Want To Kiss You' or 'I Want To Hold You' or what's more, 'I Want To Make Love To You'. Holding hands- such a pure, innocent gesture.

Holding hands. It's more than just an interlocking of fingers, more than just entwining your fingers in someone else's. Holding hands, to me at least, is letting someone know that they're not alone, that you're there.

One of the first few things I notice about a person after their smile and the way they talk, is their hands. I don't know why, but I start examining hands. The way his/her hands move and all. Yeah, I know -_- Weird.

Strayed off topic again, pffft. Tumblr says it best, I guess.

Holding hands may seem like an innocent gesture, but they show more than a simple interlocking of fingers. Your hands are one of the most essential parts of your body: you build with them, feed with them, hold with them, touch with them, fight with them; they are the tools of the human body. To take a hold of another’s hand is to break from living individually. It is to link yourself to another being, to momentarily entwine your life with another’s, to promise, for a moment, that you need not face the world alone. More simple, more aesthetically naive than other forms of affection, i.e kissing, hugging, sexing…, the act of holding hands is often trivialized in its true implications. As the Beatles once said “I want to hold your hand.”
