HIM

And as she cried he held her. He felt it was

his duty not to move until the tidal waves

of tears stopped crashing against his shoulder

and her sadness faded, even just momentarilty.

As she wept softly in his arm he seemed sad,

the girl he loved was breaking in front of him

and it seemed there was nothing he could do.

He held her for over half an hour in silence

before deciding finally upon something to

say 'it's going to be okay, I love you, I'm going to

make it okay,' he promised her and squeezed her

gently in his arms. He heard her sniffle as the

tears seemed to have stopped. She lifted her 

head and silently just planted the softest of kisses

on his lips before lying against him and closing

her eyes, wanting to sleep with him, disappear

from reality for a while and feel his arms

protecting her from nightmares, to leave the

sadness behind.
