Held Close

I held them close.
I held them close as the rain fell.
I held them close as the thunder pounded.
I held them close as the lightning lit up the room.
I held them close as they slept.
I held them close as I watched the rain fall.
I held them close as I woke up.
I held my pillow close, realizing it was a dream.
I held myself close as I wished it was real.
I held myself close as I cried.
I held myself close as I froze in my empty room.
I held myself close as I listened to the soft music.
I held my dreams close as they tried to slip away.

Note: This is similar to my first one. Real similar but I still like it.
