It evokes a special kind of envy
You can feel the warmth

It's not the physical closeness
Or the tangled fingers
That leaps out

But the eyes

The body language
They are LOVED

What so many would give away
To receive even a second
Of that kind of connection

Total understanding
Unconditional trustworthiness
In an everyday action
