Hold me
I never thought I should hear those words spoken to me. Especially not from him. But there he is, right in front of me, looking sad and vulnerable, saying the words that make my heart beat a little faster. 'Hold me'. And who am I to deny? He's been left behind again, he has no one to go to anymore, and so he comes to me, the person he's always hated, his enemy. 'Hold me'. And I do, I hold him like I've never held anyone before. 'You're not alone anymore' I whisper. He sobs and I hold him tighter.
