he

made me a cup of hot coco

-marshmallows included-

slapped duct tape on my scars

like that was supposed to help anything

hugs,

although virtual,

were readily available

massaging

my

back,

easing

tension

I

never

saw

build

he

was a hero- a knight-

sword and shield in hand

slaying dragons

to keep his little sisters safe

How did I get a guy like that?

I'm nothing special,

yet,

he takes off his armor

to kiss me

And how can I not fall again
