I didn't know how to explain it
The sudden surge, the electric shock
I saw them hold hands
and then it hit me, the feeling
of linging, of warmth
I looked at my hands
And then a scene comes to mind

These hands were held by another
fingers intertwined,
held too tight, not letting go
I was so sure of the memory
that it wasn't just made up

A long time ago these hands were hardly free
It held another's
Whose warmth I was now looking, searching

The feeling was not enough
I needed to know who
and needed to know why

Who had left me these feelings of yearning
and hanging them, leaving them cold
And why did he leave?

I stare at these hands feeling betrayed and lost
Why did I lose him?
And why did that beautiful sight
Made me realize how much love I have lost.

Nostalgia stings especially at the bitterest of moments
It doesn't bring back anything but stolen fragments
Fragments that will eventually be lost and left to disappear
Like the fragment of the memory of you and me never letting go
Where I don't bear this loneliness and sorrow
