Not Afraid

|32|

you came over later in a panic, not bothering to return the calls before you did so.

maria let you in as she was heading out and you found me lying on the bed with tear stained cheeks.

what happened, sweetheart? you asked as you wiped away a loose tear from my cheek.

i didn't know what to say so i just started to sob again. i could see the fear in your eyes as you quickly pulled up my sleeve to reveal all of my regrets. oh, lucy.

and then i was being pulled to you and wrapped in a warm hug.

you grabbed my wrist again and pulled it to your lips, gently kissing every scar, whispering that you love me.

i love you too.
