Tied Together With A Smile

"La La la La." I stroked Matthew's hair as he slept

"Its okay no one will harm us." I smiled

It was true.

Matthew was mine.

No one else will take him from me.

Not Anna not Lilly.

I had never felt love.

Never felt that warm emotion.

But Matthew gave me that.

So I'm holding onto it at all costs.
