When my tiny hands lock with yours, it's as if I'll never be able to let go, even when life gets tough.

My shaking, icy hands were placed in yours, and I felt warmth like I'd never felt before.

My heavy head is filled with a plethora of scenarios, many of which are entirely made up. My head rests on yours.

My world becomes a little calmer when my eyes relax and my heart rate slows.

I hold on to you, never wanting to let go, wishing I could stay a little longer.

I'd still ask for more if I could hold on despite the minutes turning into hours.

As my eyes close and my hands relax, I drift off to sleep in your arms.

For the first time, I had the sensation that I could close my eyes without being startled awake by a barrage of noises.

I feel protected and safe.

For the first time in months, my eyes were able to rest with a smile that had been hidden for months.

I wish the sensation would never end when I rest my head on your shoulders.

After days and nights of restless sleep and a slew of nightmares, I wish I could rest close to you.

For the first time in a long time, I slept soundly.

It feels as if I've finally discovered my safe zone when I'm near you.

I needed a place to rest my eyes, my soul, and my body.

while I'm in close proximity to you.

It's as though my body and soul have finally found a place to relax.

when I'm around you.

I could take a break from the dreadful nightmares.
