Perchance To Dream

Here I am holding in my arms the strongest person I know. Suddenly it’s me holding the quivering body and pressing my lips to a tear streaked face. "Everything’s gonna be all right," I say……and in that moment I know it’s the truth. I see a side that I haven’t seen before……this normally strong and proud individual is letting me see the fear and pain that lie hidden inside. No one has ever held this one the way I am……normally my protector…..normally my rock…….now more human….how special I must be to see this…….to hold this……to love this……..we lie stomach to back……my arms wrapped around arms that usually carry me…….that usually soothe me……..kissing the back of a sweet smelling neck……I begin to realize that I would give up my life to save the one in my arms…..that I will never allow anything to harm this……my love…my little bird………

Sigh…………why do memories always come back in dreams?
