Evolve

when did we first hold hands?

was it that time we ran outta the playground
to compare the rocks we found
at the edge of the woods

was it on the way back to your place
after coffee went way-longer
than we expected

maybe it was the walk through the cemetery
overlooking the creek in the fall
you whispered, we could do worse

or was it 
when we first came down from the trees
and startled by the saber-tooth
I grabbed your hand to pull you to safety
