I hope you're ok.
I heard your call for help.

I hope you're ok.
I came running.

I hope he stopped.
I heard you begging him to.

I hope you're ok.
I called for help.

I hope you're ok.
The police came.

I hope you're ok.
We looked for hours.

I pray you're ok.
I heard the desperation in your voice.

I pray he stopped.
No one deserves to be hurt like that.

I pray you're ok.
We never found you.

And that's what scares me the most.
