Please,
hold me close,
don't let me go.
I'm afraid
that if you do,
I'll fall forever.
I feel so safe
with your arms around me,
wrapped so tight.
Holding me close,
close to your heart.
There's strength there.
Warmth and caring
that runs deeper
than anything
I've ever known.
I'm scared,
not knowing what
the future may hold.
Not wanting you
to leave.
I'm begging you,
please,
don't let go.
