She held me close. At first, I resisted. I was full of doubt. But then I melted in her embrace.
I rested my head on her chest, and just like that, all my troubles faded away. For the first time in my life, I felt safe. I no longer felt alone.
The world lost its colours; everything was in black and white. I felt her every breath, every heartbeat, alongside my own. In that moment, we were one being. We were joined together, and we knew each other.
She understood me, and I understood her.
She thought that I was asleep, but how could I sleep? Despite the temptation, I stayed awake. I had to treasure this singular moment which brought us together. I couldn't lose it.
But then, I woke up. And she was gone.
