He lets me sit in his lap while we read.

He wraps his arms around my body and we read in silence as usual.

On the way back downstairs, I trip.

He catches me.

He holds my hand the rest of the way, saying,

"I'll protect you."

I want to kiss him.

But I can't afford to lose him again.

I wish he was mine.

I wish I could hold hands with him all the time.

I wish I could cuddle him at night.

I love him.

He loves me too.

Just not in the same way.
