I'm here

Do you remember?

When we stayed up all night

Just to watch the sun slowly fall

Until it was nothing but a cold black sky

What about those nights?

Where I brokedown and said I couldn't take it

And you would hold me tightly

And sing beautiful songs in my ear

Then whisper, "I'm here, nothing can hurt you anymore."

It comforted me and made me feel safe

Safe and sound

Those nights where you held me,

We looked up at the night sky

And wished upon the brightest stars

You were my hero then

And you are my hero now.

Ya know..My first thought was of you recalling a love in your life...but if you read deeper into the lines you can see a possible connection with a parent or fun loving besty..or even a different relative. How some connections stay with us even as we outgrow our youthful need from the simple gestures. (mom's can rock their children singing songs to chase away the bad dreams. Friends can enjoy the night sky wishing upon stars that they find their true loves. And we all have confided to somebody that we can't take it any longer and need out.) All the descriptions you told can be of different individuals or a whole being as I'm sure you meant this to be. But I found myself reading passed the obvious to look again between the thoughts...lovely poem and I was swept away as to the depth such feelings evoke still as you told them in your piece. Very pretty indeed :)

I really enjoyed connecting with every word and line in this writing. I could really feel the emotion behind it and relate. c:
