I hate to spoil the ending

But You is fine

You is still here

You is going to make it.

Darling,

kiss me like you need

to feel safe

Because my lips want to know

all the places

you have been hurt

So they can make all the pain

drift away

the way they reach for you and they find you through the dark

even if their eyes are

closed.
