"Angel Standing By"All through the night I'll be standing over you. All through the night I'll be watching over you. And through bad dreams I'll be right there, baby. Holding your hand, telling you everything is all right. And when you cry I'll be right there. Telling you were never anything less than beautiful. So don't you worry I'm your Angel standing by…
I always lay with her, holding her close. Her warmth, against my cold body, was luxurious. I listened to her heart, I listened to her speak. She dreamed. I stayed. I wanted to, and I couldn't leave. She was so beautiful, and fragile. She had nightmares, not often, but they were there; all the same.
I would hold her tight, tell her she was okay, and soothe her as she cried. I hated when she cried. It hurt me. Like I wasn't good enough. But then she'd look up at me like I was heaven sent, and I knew she was wrong. I was the worst kind of demon. But she loved me, and she'd never looked so beautiful. She was never anything less than beautiful.
I promised her I'd always be there. And I was. Every night, every day. I would never be able to go away. She'd smile. She knew. I watched her as she fell back to sleep. I was her Angel Standing By, to put her nightmares at bay.
