An insane storm that has hit,

The wind is crazy, and the branches scratch across the windowpane,

I pull you closer to me because you're shivering like hell,

Don't be so afraid, it is only weather,

Part of everything normal and natural,

Don't fret,

Don't cry,

It'll be okay, come closer to me 'cause I will definitely protect you,

You can stop trembling,

I will love you forever.

You used to be so small,

I love you as much as back then,

Don't make me loose my head in this storm,

Lost in the thunder and lightning and sirens blurred out by the elements on the roof,

And the essence of you,

I love you,

Thank you so much, for being you, for being here, for loving me, for existing,

But I miss being the one to curl my body around you,

When you were scared of the rain,

You are so warm, I'm glad your mine,

Alfred.

You see, there was nothing to be afraid of last night,

The things you were afraid of are gone,

I told you you would be all right,

In that rain,

That storm that ripped some of the branches off the trees…

Has passed…

Your little body, your petite frame, pressed against my calf in the fresh morning breeze, so trusting, feels so reassuring against all of my problems.

Faint light streams in,

You open your eyes,

I've been up for a while, admiring your being, it's so beautiful,

You lean over my body,

Your soft lips are so comforting,

The day is an hour from breaking,

You get up and open the window,

A cool breeze slinks in,

It moves me next to tears,

A reminder of that time so long ago when you were so tiny,

The dawn's calm after the storm,

America.

"You used to be so big?"

I AM still big!

You are just… Bigger,

Bigger…

Damn bastard, bloody git,

We are all covered in mud and blood,

Sweat, tears, wounds, and bandages,

In another raging storm, we see each other again,

You just stand there,

You with your foolish freedom-declaring buffoons,

Staring pitifully down at me, as this drenching rain pelts my figure,

I sink lower and lower to the ground,

This rain washes my concept of "happiness" away,

I want to cry,

I am,

I want to die,

I'm not,

I want you dead,

But…

I can't kill you,

Because I love you,

Even if you are the one who leaves me heartbroken for centuries,

Forever.
