gently wipe away your tears
as my finger grazes your flushed warm skin
i lock my eyes inside yours
and attempt to take away your pain

"don't worry baby", i whisper, "I'll take care of you."

soft kisses as our lips collide
wrapped in my arms, holding you tightly
if only just for tonight, a shoulder to cry on

if you're willing to fall , I'll be here to catch you.
