My hands are clammy.

They are anxious to feel your fingers dance with theirs,

counting the seconds until our palms touch again.

Until your thumb grazes the back of my hand;

until I feel the beat of your fingers drumming on my arm;

until I can see the pulse in your veins,

running up your arm and to your heart,

my hands will be anxiously perspiring in anticipation of your touch.
