Hand in Hand

Occasion: Of course, Tina, 1988, Presidio of San Francisco. I was really beginning to ponder the possibility that I might actually marry this person. Woman, thy name is "Vixen".

Part 1

I was walking by myself,
Down a moonlit, misty beach,
And it seemed like you were further,
Than the stars were out of reach.

So I stood there in the night,
With my eyes out on the sea,
Hands buried in my pockets,
With the fog surrounding me.

Then a thought came to my mind,
As I stood ‘tween sea and land,
That naught else could I want,
If I could only hold your hand.


Part 2

I was sitting in the sunlight,
With its warmth upon my face,
Just looking at the trees and grass,
And the beauty of that place.

And there you stood beside me,
With the sunshine on your hair,
While your azure eyes were blazing,
So I couldn’t help but stare.

Then a thought came to my mind,
That without you I can’t stand,
And my heart and spirit lept for joy,
When I felt you hold my hand.
