Her to Wake
Why?
Why wouldn't she wake up? Why didn't she open her eyes after all these months?
Still, he waited. He waited for her to open her eyes and tell him it was all a joke. He waited for her to throw her arms around him. He waited for her to wake.
He missed her. He missed her unnatural, colorless eyes. Her rare yet stunning smile. He wished to hear her soft voice tell him that everything was alright, that she was unharmed.
He visited her whenever he could. He would sit by her bed and caress her hand.
"Why couldn't I protect you?"
She was the only one who broke through to his heart, and she didn't even realize it.
"I will wait for you to let me in."
Her heart was guarded. The few that cracked her shield were lucky, but he was the only one to breech the walls and see the beauty within.
"You hold my heart."
She had been hurt many times. He would still be learning about her pain everyday he spent with her. He would protect her from the harsh world. He would not let her get hurt again.
"Why don't you wake?"
She had all his love. He could never replace her. No one else had her smile, her soft white hair, her laugh…He loved her laugh. He rarely heard it but he would never forget its beautiful melody.
He would wait. He promised her sleeping form that he would wait for her to wake, to let him hold her in his arms.
"You hold my heart
I wait for you to let me in."
