>does anyone else but me truly believe that holding hands is one of the single most intimate acts that two people can engage in together? i truly do. i think it speaks volumes. louder than sex, louder than kissing on the mouth. why? i don’t know. perhaps it has something to do with the innocence of it. or the promise of what is to come. sometimes, it fulfills the need. maybe it’s to do with the sameness of our hands. or the mirroring effect. the fit. somewhere along the way, the way i hold hands evolved into something very special. that is where my hands go. some hands fit better together than others.
