I am whisked away from this beautiful place. A short feeling of loneliness and doubt sweep over me before I am dropped into a dark place. I can't see anything but I can hear something. It sounds like water rushing in a river, water dripping from the ceiling. As I walk I find it hard to get a good grip because the ground is so wet and slippery. I'm looking for light. Something to take me out of this darkness and comfort me. This place gives an overwhelming feeling of loneliness when you're here. Finally, I see something dim across the way and I follow the light. It's a lantern, sitting in a notch of what looks like stone or rock. From what little it illuminates, I can see spiders and their webs, I can see creepy-crawlers scurrying across the floor. It's louder than the beautiful place I was just taken from. This place doesn't make me feel welcome. It's terrifying and lonely. Darkness is consuming the whole area. I can't help but have negative thoughts. It fills me with grief and fear but I do have hope. The lantern represents you. My only light in all the darkness I face everyday. You help me with everything and you don't go out unless someone puts you out. In that case, I will be your lantern. With each other we can face all of this with bravery and love. Our love can light up any situation even if it's the darkest. The lantern is my only hope of getting out of this terrible place just like you're my only hope in every situation.
