Me and her, together at last. Just being able to hold each other and know that we're both safe was my euphoria.

"If there's one thing I know I can show you, what it means to be free but still hold you..."

I rubbed her back comfortingly, holding her close.
I needed to be close to her.
I needed to feel her against me.
I needed to know she felt the same as I did.

"So now the chills are running down my spine and we will be needing to say goodbye..."

It had only been a short time of us even knowing each other but I knew already that I never wanted to let her go.
She already meant everything to me and nothing made sense without her.
I wanted to look after and protect that girl for as long as I lived.

"I'm here to stay so we can say goodnight"

I'm never going to leave her side.

"Close your eyes"

It had been such a short time but I knew the feelings were real.
This is what I want.

"I'll keep you warm"

I want to stay in this moment forever.
With everything that I am and everything that I'll ever be, I love her.

"Close your eyes"
