I hold her as her tears fall in earnest. She's been crying for hours now with no sign
of stopping anytime soon. Her pain is raw tonight and she just couldn't hold back
anymore. I'm just glad I was there when she finally broke. She's clinging to me now like I'm the only thing keeping her rooted to the bed we're laying in.

She keeps asking me why it all happened. Why? Why? Why? and it pulls at my heart because I can't answer this question for her. The one that always seems to have theanswers, I have nothing for this pleading question. This is something I simply cannot say. She tightens her grip on me and calms down some.

She tells me she's scared and I can feel her start to tremble and shake in my arms. I hold her a little tighter and I softy kiss away her tears.

I whisper sweet nothings in her ear to calm her down, to smooth out her fears and
troubles. To let her know that she's isn't alone in this dark place she's in, that
I'm right there with her in her time of need.

"Sing me a song," She asks in a voice so unlike the one I'm used to hearing. This one in small with a sad undertoe. I pick a slow tune that I know well. It's short and
sweet, but it seems to do the trick, for when I sing the last note, she's sound
asleep in my arms.

"I love you," I whisper into the night and she inches closer to me in her sleep as if
she's seeking out my warmth on a cold night as well as that safe feeling she so yerns to feel. "I love you and I'm here, my love." And with that, sleep claims me as well.
I love you.
