my foot slipped.

my foot slipped off the bicycle pedal,
my hand slipped into yours.

the sunlight became daisy's in my hair:
bold shadow outline,
i saw you standing there.

surprised, warm grip.
muscles flex, unflex. spins me round,
sunlight streaming through any empty spaces.
compress. don't let go,,

lock. stop. pause.

listen to your heart beat, fast, slow. so content.

running my fingers along the threads of your shirt,
it was all worth it.

it feels nice to whisper in your ear.

for once, i let you know it'll be ok.

i won't let you fall, your foot won't slip.
i'll hold your hand.
