*The cave is quiet… just the sound of water echoing softly.* * sit still, staring at the glowing water in front of me.* *I can feel you behind me… your fingers slowly moving through my hair.* You’re gentle… always gentle. “You’re quiet,” *you say softly.* *I let out a small breath.* “I just don’t feel like talking.” *your fingers don’t stop.* *They move slower… calmer.* “You don’t have to talk,” *you whisper.* “Just don’t shut me out.” *I close my eyes for a moment.* “I’m not trying to…” *I murmur.* “I just don’t know what to say.” *move a little closer behind me, your hand resting lightly against my head.* “Then don’t say anything,” *you say*. “Just stay like this.” *There’s a long silence.* *But it doesn’t feel heavy anymore.* “…You always stay,” *I say quietly.* “Of course I do.” *I look down at the water, the light reflecting softly.* “…Even when I get like this?” *Your fingers run through my hair again.* “Especially then.” *I exhale slowly, my shoulders finally relaxing.* “…Thank you,” *I whisper.* And for once… I don’t feel alone.
