She looked up at me.
Tears streaming.
From her face.
She called me by my first name.
Not my.
Nickname.
I knew it was bad.
But I didn't know.
Why she was crying.
I vowed never to make her.
I was afraid.
Afraid we were having a bad start.
And it would happen again.
"If you ever
Don't want to be
With me,
Please,
Tell me."
She said quietly.
So I wiped away her tears.
And told her everything would.
Be ok.
"I'm yours.
Always yours,
Remember?"
