Goodbye we say,goodbye,

Sometimes my hands curl up,

and other times,they open.

Then I feel the air;

My fingers relax.

I touch your hand;

uncurl it and press it to mine.

Palm on palm,it’s no secret

that palms connect to hearts.

In your face I see a hint of melancholy,

I feel it in my soul..

as if there was a secret connection..

thought how,I don’t know.

Somehow,touching, we create another soul,

Neither you nor I, but We……

Touching,need to be physical..

We know how a story can affect us that way.

What a gift to know we have touched someone…

In the heart.’s. most tender space.The place of love.

Both true and false,my palm is lonely.

Then I feel the caress of summer air..

To touch is to be touched

as one soul opens to another..

Vulnerable,human,loving,

Painful and illusory,like those dreams of childhood.

Now we go,first gripping, then loosening our hands.

Goodbye,we say,Goodbye
