The Line:

He drew it, he said, to keep them safe.

But emotionally, they had already crossed it.

He held back

When she hugged him

When she pecked his cheek

When she inserted her gum in his mouth under the mistletoe

But she needed him

To help her cope with the trial

To teach her how to use her heart

To hold her when her world came crashing down

And so he waited

Until the time was right

Until their moment came

AND HE ERASED THE LINE FOREVER!!
