Falling Up

safe

I felt safe.

For once in my life, when everything fell apart, I felt safe.

Your shirt ended up soaked with my tears and your arms probably hurt from holding me so tight. But I felt safe.

I cried for so long and you never seemed to grow tired of it. But I felt safe.

And God, you remembered everything that i told you when I would get quiet and say things that were completely out of character from my happy self.

You held my hands so my nails couldnt find their way to my skin and leave long red marks down my face and neck.

You rubbed my back and arms to remind me that you were there and because you remembered that the sinple motion of it calmed me.

You were there, and for once, I didnt feel alone when everything started to fall apart.

I felt safe.
