You like to be tucked in bed wrapped under the warm blanket that keeps you safe, but really you like the feeling of his warm body next to yours.

You like listening to songs in your quiet room when it’s dark but you really like listening to the sound of his voice and how the gentle whispers bring you peace.

You used to like your parents read you stories about princes fighting off the monsters, but you now realise they live in your mind.

You try to fight the monsters one by one.

Day by day they grow bigger.

You tell yourself you can’t be saved.

But then you see him and it all goes away.

One by one the monsters fade.

You realise that you could be saved and he was the one that did it.

With every touch of his skin gently caressing over yours you could feel the peace.

With every gentle kiss you could feel your entire body ignite.

With every “I love you” the weight you carried with you got lighter.

Your thoughts start to wander and you tell yourself “I wish I never let go”. Maybe if you stayed I could be saved.
