In the midst of whispers

Not until then

We all have dark secrets, traumas, disappointments, failures, and insecurities.

Wearing a mask to hide the truth

To conceal lies and unhappiness

The agony behind those smiling faces

I want to behold, I want to be touched, but I don't want to hurt you, baby.

This thorn that keeps on growing around me

There are monsters under my bed, or maybe it's within me.

I want to escape, run, but there's no place I'd rather be.

I was drowned, barely breathing in the vast ocean of my dream.

But, in an unexpected moment, you came

You saved me. You held my hand tightly.

You caressed my head and embraced me warmly.

You came closer and whispered sweetly, "I love you, I'm always here for you."

We intertwined our hands and I felt your warmth.

I laid my head on your shoulder and found my comfort there.

Everything has changed since the day I met you, my healer.
