this love

like grains of sand in my hands
and i want to keep every little bit of it.

holding it too loosely would mean having the wind take it away from me
but holding on too tightly would mean having the grains slip away.

when it means so much
it starts to feel so fragile, so vulnerable.

all you would want to do is keep it safe
a little bit too much at times that you unknowingly hold on a tad too tightly.

a balance to be maintained
maybe another pair of hands would do the trick.

lay your hands over mine
and protect these grains with whatever it takes.

we'll find a way not to let anything take it away from us
and we'll find a way not to let it slip through our fingers.

like grains of sand in OUR hands.
