Drabble – Trust
I trust only you in this world.
That is what he told me, only me. What does it mean?
Does it mean he thinks I will always tell him the truth in all things? That I alone will always be honest with my feelings and beliefs? Does he have any idea what he expects of me?
What would he think of me if he ever found out the truth?
How would he feel if he knew that I have had doubts about his dreams? That I have questioned his desire to conquer this great world he so desires?
I have seen him change from the youth full of adventure and challenge, to a man obsessed with owning the world. I have watched him indulge in the pleasures of being the king of the world.
And yet he still holds me close to him. He says I am his strength.
Am I?
I don't feel as strong as he claims I am. I have no doubts in my mind that without him, I wouldn't be the man I am today.
And so we are, two souls together, making the other stronger.
The trust that holds us together is our greatest strength.
