Hold me. Tighter. Just a little bit longer.

Keep me with you, by your side. At your reach.

Hold me, tighter, just a little bit longer.

Let me feel your warmth warm me, fill me with your hold. Your strength keeping my tears at bay.

Hold me, tighter, just a little longer.

I hate hearing noises, chewing, my own heart beat, a clock on the wall. But yours is a ticking beat I never want to miss. Your blood warming your body, your tension easing away mine.

Hold me, tighter so I can breathe you in and alleviate my pain. My auromatheraphy. Tears now soak your chest. Your pain seeping into me as you hold me, tighter. "Just a little bit longer." You whisper as she gets ready to move. Her pain now yours and your pain hers.

Hold me, tighter, always a bit longer.
