His Soft Hands

I study you
As you
Meticulously
Press your uniform
Precisely cook your meals
And push doors open
Gently

If you
Were in my world
I would have to do
All that for you
To protect
Your soft hands.

I like to
Fantasize
That you
Are as cautious and careful
As you are
Because you are preserving
Those hands
For me.
