There was a moment when I realized I’d fallen in love with you and it terrified me because I never thought I’d be capable.

I look at my past that’s etched into my skin. Nightmares taunt me every time I close my eyes. I worry that I only feel this way about you because the nightmares aren’t there when you are next to me.

But I realize that you are my dragon and you chase the nightmares away.
