I start to dig my nails in my hand
feeling the anxiety
without saying a word
he grabs my hand to hold it
calming me
I'm driving
and nervous
because I don't know where I'm going
biting my nails
"Honey" He says gently
"Calm down. I can tell you're freaking out"
Calming me
My heart is pounding,
because I don't know any of these people
he wraps his arm around me
rubbing my back
calming me
I don't even have to speak
for him to get what's going on with me
and that makes me feel more comforted
and safe then I ever have before
