I've Got Them, Babe


Lately, when I'm drunk I want to hold hands.  I hold hands with my friends, with men I'm not romantically interested in, with other people's boyfriends that I don't even wish were mine, never with the man I'm interested in.  I think I even remember drunkenly holding hands with my co-workers.  
I like the contact of someone's palm against mine.  I think I need it as tangible proof that I'm not alone.  And I like the way someone else's fingers wrap around mine.  I like feeling like for a moment I don't have to be ok; someone else has got me.  
And I love these people I hold hands with on drunken nights.  I love them when I'm sober.  They're my family.  I've got them.
