Never Let Go

My thoughts run dry
I cannot laugh
I cannot cry
What's the point?

My hands hold my face
As my stomach churns
No one will take your place
I love you

You rub my back
Whisper "Never let go."
We're both about to crack
So I have to

Hold me close, whisper "I love you."
Forever and for always
Whatever it takes I will do
But don't you ever leave

I love you too.
