Biting the bullet, I reached out for your hand again.

My breath hitched for a moment and I look away from you, biting the inside of my cheek.

Then a small squeeze brings me back to my senses, your smile reassures me.

Your palm against mine, your hand soft underneath my fingertips.

"You're safe now, there's no need to worry," you whisper, squeezing my hand again.

The scene still stains my mind, the warmth from your hand still lingers.

That was the night you saved me.

The night that I finally realized that I had to face this problem head-on.

Maybe you pitied me.

But I don't want your pity.

I just need your love.
