What keeps two young hands entwined
in warm embrace
until they are worn and wrinkled?
What says, “Let’s set our masks aside and journey together?
Many have walked with me and many more will,
But I’d stay with you the longest and we’ll hold each other the closest.”

I don’t know a thing about being swept off my feet,
but my phone fills with encouraging texts and silly videos:
“Here this made me think of you”
“I miss you” “Call me sometime”
They say, “Let’s walk together.”
