Almost holding hands on a shared armrest

Almost holding hands on a shared armrest โ€” under one umbrella on a rainy bridge, fingers a breath apart.

The Story Behind This Image

Almost holding hands

It starts as logistics. One umbrella, two people, a bridge over a slow river in the rain โ€” someone has to stand closer. She holds the umbrella, tilting it his way without thinking. He notices and pretends not to. Their hands hang at their sides, and between their fingers there is perhaps an inch of rainy air, the most charged inch on the bridge.

He is in a black hoodie, damp hair; she in a cream knit top and plaid skirt, rain beading on her sleeves. The bridge arcs behind them, the river moves below, and the blue-hour light does its soft-focus work on everything except the question neither of them is asking.

The aching almost

Almost is the native language of unspoken love. Almost holding hands on a shared armrest, almost saying it at the bridge railing, almost leaning the last inch. The almost is not cowardice โ€” it is reverence. Once you say it, the words belong to the world; while unsaid, they belong only to the two of you, perfect and untested.

The rain keeps the secret. The river carries it downstream. And their fingers stay an inch apart, which is either the saddest or the most romantic distance on earth, depending on what happens next.
