Drabble – Copy – 200 Words
As I lie here watching him as he sleeps in my arms, I can't help but wonder why the rest of the world can't see him as I do. Don't they know how much he means to me?
Don't they know the strength he so gently hides and the loyalty he gives me when everyone else doubts my words and actions?
Don't they know the confidence he gives me when I doubt my own self and that he cares for me despite my many faults and never judges me?
Don't they know people look a lifetime and never find a better friend than he is, giving his love to me unconditionally and completely?
Don't they know my bravery in battle is stronger because I know he is by my side protecting my life even at the possible cost of losing his own?
But they don't know any of this because he didn't give his heart and soul to them; this incredible man called Hephaestion chooses to love me.
Without him in my life I would have been just a copy of the man I have become.
And because they don't know they will never understand why he too is Alexander.
