The ridges of your knuckles
are coarse against the soft pad of my thumb.
I feel the heat of your palm against my fingertips.
My heart sinks, and I squeeze it firmly.
I remember what you said to me.
"So long as you remember me,
you shall never be alone."
The knowledge that you are by my side,
Helps my bitter thoughts throughout the night.
So, despite the grim nature of the universe;
You and I are together.
