Held

You hold me

Clutching tightly

As I cry out from the pain.

You say it's okay,

That I am going to be alright.

I try to believe.

You say you love me,

That I am perfect in your eyes.

I try to believe.

I hold you

As you hold onto me tightly,

Breathing your strength in,

Your courage

And faith.

Slowly, I believe.

You say you love me.

I find the strength

To say back

I love you.
