EPILOGUE: Three Years Later

Sophie's POV:

"Come stop your crying, it will be alright."

We sang the first phrase of our song together, and I love how our voices blend so well. Keefe and I are sitting under our favorite tree, the one we always dreamed of. Tonight, we're sharing another special moment, focused on our song. This song has been the start of healing for both of our broken hearts. And even though we're still healing, it feels stronger than ever. We'll be okay now, because we have each other. We'll never let go of this beautiful feeling in our hearts.

The first phrase that dried our tears. The first sign of comfort and love. We were two young children longing for real love, unsure of where to find it or how to attain it. We thought we would be stuck in darkness forever, destined to be broken forever.

Time has passed with its share of highs and lows, victories and losses. We've made countless memories and look forward to making many more. Right now, we are filled with happiness and deep love for each other. We treasure this bond and look forward to many more years together. It's hard to believe that the young six-year-old me would have imagined being here with my soulmate, both of us deeply in love.

I wouldn't have believed you, if you had told me we would be here at this moment. I would have brushed it off and thought it was useless to dream of such things.

Keefe was a young boy with a broken heart, hurt and shattered by his own family. He believed that all good things were impossible for him to achieve, and he constantly felt negative emotions that no young boy should have to endure. He felt unwanted and unloved by the people who should care about him, but they didn't, and he didn't believe they ever would.

I was loved by both of my parents, but I also felt resented for not being "normal." I heard all the negative thoughts that people had about me just because I was smart.

"Just take my hand hold it tight."

As we sang, I vividly recall the moment I first took Keefe's hand. It's hard to put into words the emotions I experienced, but it was truly a beautiful feeling. It felt like a promise, a simple act of holding each other's hands tightly and never letting go. We reassured each other that we wouldn't leave one another feeling abandoned or alone. We made a commitment to be there for each other, and that's something that will never change.

"I will protect you from all around you. I will be here don't you cry."

I love that line. I also love feeling protected when Keefe is standing next to me. I'm sure he feels the same way. We protect each other from all the sadness we've endured. We've said to each other a few times, "Don't cry, my love. I'll hold you close to my heart and always be there to make you happy." This changes my tears from tears of sadness to tears of joy, and the same goes for Keefe. A lot of things changed for the good for him.

"For one so small you seem so strong. My arms will hold you keep you safe and warm."

I love it when Keefe wraps his warm arms around me, and he loves it when I do the same to him. We call our hugs "Our Warm Hug," at least that's what Keefe calls it. It makes him so happy, and I smile every time he says it. I've started calling them that too, just knowing how special it is and making up for the lost love and affectionate touches he never received.
