A Shake of the Hand

Feelings flow when hands touch attraction felt, love or friendship? Sometimes distraction, used when speaking hidden from view, what is this action?

Walking along, hands never letting go feelings increase as time unfolds A wedding arrives, greetings galore shaking hands, some you do not know The firstborn, trace face and nose Fingers, an extension of hands well known Despite your age, hands still hold on fingers entwine, grip not letting go Holding the hands of a loved one In a two-handed grip, neither letting go The grip then triggers thoughts both, understanding the hidden content
