You became scared.

Not of me. Not of us.

Of what?

I took your face and held it close.

I whispered to you.

'It's ok...it's ok...'

I closed my eyes, willing away your fear.

Your heart beat against mine.

You were trembling.

Why?

It's ok, my dear one.

Everything will be fine.

Nothing can hurt you.

Not while you are mine.

You are safe in my arms.

There is nothing to fear.

Please remember to breathe.

I am always right here.
