The feeling of security

When you know you’re safe

Like a warm blanket in the winter,

Or a mug of cocoa.

It’s a tight hug

From far away

Though only words

It’s still a squeeze around the shoulders

And the knowing that no matter what

There’s somebody to catch you when you fall.

It’s the knowing that your best friend is always there

It’s the emotional whirlwind of any relationship

The rise and the fall of your chest

As it heaves

Full of tears of joy

Because you know

That you really are safe

Secure

And loved

Forever

And for always.
