Silent Nights (5 of 10)

something happens when the lights go off
close
deliberate
firm
was the way he held her at night
without words
these were the moments she loved
wrapped in his arms
safe
protected
she taught him how to love
and he taught her how to receive it
unconditionally
two damaged hearts
trying to make it work
he didn't want to admit it
but at times he wanted her to come to his rescue
they had come this far
heart open
vulnerable
in those quiet moments
thinking he was asleep
she wrapped herself around him
close
deliberate
firm
he knew
that
she knew
love fell into his heart
