Make the Bad Dream Go Away
"Daddy, daddy, wake up." I whisper, shaking.
You open your eyes look into mine.
I feel like such a child now. A small, frightened child.
"What is it, Lloyd?" You ask, half awake.
"I had a bad dream. Please make it better, daddy. Make the bad dream go away." I answer, still trembling.
You pull me close and run your finger through my hair, whispering that it will be okay.
I feel like such a child. Scared by a dream, so now I need your comfort.
I don't like this feeling, it makes me feel weak.
"Lloyd, I love you." You murmur softly.
And then you kiss me.
And now I don't feel like a child anymore.
I'm laying next to the man I love, and everything's alright.
"I love you too, Kratos." I whisper back.
I wrap my arms around you, feeling safe and happy.
I'll always feel better with you. You can make the bad dreams go away.
