It was winter and Barry and I were on our way back home from a date. It was cold, so I was bundled up in every clothing item I had.
It was a quiet night and nobody was on the streets. Barry and I walked, taking in all the sights and sounds of the shops as we passed them. We were walking by a late night coffee shop and a song I could recognize began to play. I grabbed Barry and danced with him.
🎶🎵"Hands, put your empty hands in mine
And scars, show me all the scars you hide
And hey, if your wings are broken
Please take mine so yours can open, too
'Cause I'm gonna stand by you

"Chloe, what are you-"
"Just listen," I said as we continued to sway back and forth.

Oh, tears make kaleidoscopes in your eyes
And hurt, I know you're hurting, but so am I
And, love, if your wings are broken
Borrow mine 'til yours can open, too
'Cause I'm gonna stand by you

Even if we're breaking down, we can find a way to break through
Even if we can't find heaven, I'll walk through Hell with you
Love, you're not alone, 'cause I'm gonna stand by you
Even if we can't find heaven, I'm gonna stand by you
Even if we can't find heaven, I'll walk through Hell with you
Love, you're not alone, 'cause I'm gonna stand by you

Yeah, you're all I never knew I needed
And the heart—sometimes it's unclear why it's beating
And, love, if your wings are broken
We can brave through those emotions, too
'Cause I'm gonna stand by you

Oh, truth—I guess truth is what you believe in
And faith—I think faith is having a reason
And I know now, love, if your wings are broken
Borrow mine 'til yours can open, too
'Cause I'm gonna stand by you

Even if we're breaking down, we can find a way to break through
Even if we can't find heaven, I'll walk through Hell with you
Love, you're not alone, 'cause I'm gonna stand by you
Even if we can't find heaven, I'm gonna stand by you
Even if we can't find heaven, I'll walk through Hell with you
Love, you're not alone, 'cause I'm gonna stand by you

I'll be your eyes 'til yours can shine
And I'll be your arms, I'll be your steady satellite
And when you can't rise, well, I'll crawl with you on hands and knees
'Cause I... I'm gonna stand by you

Even if we're breaking down, we can find a way to break through (come on)
Even if we can't find heaven, I'll walk through Hell with you
Love, you're not alone, 'cause I'm gonna stand by you
Even if we can't find heaven, I'm gonna stand by you
Even if we can't find heaven, I'll walk through Hell with you
Love, you're not alone, 'cause I'm gonna stand by you
Love, you're not alone
Oh, I'm gonna stand by you
(even if we can't find heaven, heaven, heaven)
Yeah, I'm gonna stand by you"🎵
At the end of the song I closed the gap between us and connected our lips together.
"What was that for?" Barry asked me.
"I wanted you to listen to the lyrics. I will stand by you, whatever it may be. I want you to know that I will never leave you and you can count on me. I want you to know that I will be there for you when you need me and I'll help you until you get back on your feet. I know you've been going through a lot and I want to help you with that. I love you Barry Allen."
"Thanks, but you didn't have to tell me that. I already knew. And I love you too."
"You're the best Barry Allen."
"And you're the best Chloe Allen."
