Hold My Hand, Laugh and Talk

How can things be so right, and yet so confusing? The chorus of a cheesy pop song from middle school returns to my mind. “I need to hear from you,” (Petra). A good friend and I used to sing those words in jest, referring to his girlfriend who had been ignoring him. The words return to my mind for vastly different reasons, but they still return. So much confusion and cloudiness can so easily be cleared up. I know it’s hard, but why must you take so long?

“Do you want to go for a walk you can hold my hand we can laugh and talk. You can lead the way, which way you want to go, tell me all the things I really, really want to know. Hair is gold and her eyes are blue I’m in love with the girl with the flower tattoo and if I wrote the perfect song you know I’d name it after you. t-shirt, sneakers, some faded blue jeans, pockets in the back ripped from the seams. Doesn’t really care what she hears or sees, what they think about her what they think about me. Hair is gold and her eyes are blue I’m in love with a girl with a flower tattoo and if I wrote the perfect song you know I’d name it after you.
