Wish to just hold on always..

I just had a thought...
A thought about the idea of holding hands... Holding hands as in between a pair of lovers (straight, homo or bi, but I'll mainly be talking about straight couples, k?)...



Ever thought about why a couple are often seen holding hands with one another? Or for that matter, close to one another in some ways; like holding the other's waist, or leaning one's head on the other's shoulder or head?
Well, you'll obviously say that's cause they're in love and wanna be close with his/her partner..
And you'll most probably be right.

When in love, a couple will always stay/remain close to each other. They just have to be within the personal space of the other.
I think of this behaviour in this way; an urge, a desire, a wanting, a need to be one with the other.
Let's just imagine that there exists an aura surrounding every human, each individually different from everyone else. Now let's have an examplary couple surrounded with their separate individual auras.
They'd definitely have this urge/desire to enter each other's aura, to get into one another's aura, even if just a little.
One way to satisfy that urge/desire is by holding each other's hand. Arms twisted around each other's, hands clamped closely together and their fingers crisscrossing in-between each other's in a lock grip.
This action, in a way, displays to the couple themselves and to everyone else a symbolism of unison between the two. That, the two people have a bond with one another, hence why I say, a desire to be one with the other.



It is like the old Chinese symbol of complete balance. The Yin-Yang symbol (Picture above).
This symbol depicts a complete balance and a strong bond between two opposites.
YIN is the black, Dark, a symbol of calmness and collectiveness, while YANG is the white, Light, a symbol of outgoingness and aggressiveness.
If you noticed, there's a dot of white in the mass of black and a dot of black in the mass of white in this symbol.
In my opinion, this displays an exchange of two separate matters to achieve a One-ness.
This is what I'm trying to get at with this post.
This is what I mean when I said 'a desire to be one with the other'.
And this is why I used the idea of individual auras in my example earlier.
Entering into one another's aura, they are like, unconsciously trying to exchange a bit of aura to and from each other. And in this manner, connect to each other deeper than mere physical presence and closeness.



Let me tell you my experience when it comes to holding hands with the opposite gender.
I've ever been held by the hand by a girl before. It gave me this very strange chill throughout my body, but I liked it a lot, honestly. Perhaps it was just a sense of intimacy that I never gotten before, I don't know.
Anyway, there's a distinct difference between holding your own two hands together compared to holding hands with someone else.
You just can't replicate that feeling of holding someone else's (that signifant someone's) hand by holding your own hands together, no matter how hard you forced your mind to imagine that feeling.

Well... I was just thinking to myself about it when I noticed this behaviour amongst many couples, if not all.
And well.... just thought to post it up. Hehe!


Additional note: Actually, I wrote most of this post earlier today, but accidentally close the window without saving.... so I had to write it all all over again!
