High Five

 

High Five

 

I looked into his eyes and he said give me a high five.

I looked at it enticed but wanted to convince otherwise

I took my pointer finger and laced it in the middle of his palm

"That’s only one" he said

I placed my thumb on his thumb

"That’s two" he smiles

My middle finger on his, he looks into my eyes

"That’s three, go on."

My ring finger touched his

"Four."

My pinky grazed his pinky

"Five. Was that so hard"?

I smiled.

My hand the mirror image of his

Lingering on his skin, for jus seconds

Had it been minutes?

Realizing I hadn't let go

I abruptly dropped my hand from his

The dimples in his cheeks

Refusing to disappear
