There was darkness as far as I could see... mercilessly deep, soft and quiet... the kind of darkness that brings the bravest to their knees... I was scared... because I felt weak and defenseless... It was cold and I didn't even have the strength to open my eyes and see where I was...
But then, among that darkness, a voice echoed...
"Don't give up... I beg you, don't give up... I will do anything, endure anything, just stay with me..."
And I suddenly wasn't afraid anymore. I knew that voice, I always felt safe when I heard it... I also felt the warmth of someone's hands wrapping around mine and there could be no doubt anymore... I was too tired to move a single muscle, but I wanted to see him so badly... comfort him... It felt like hours before I finally gathered enough strength to at least lift my eyelids.
