I love you when you’re happy.
I love you when you’re sad.
I love you if you’re angry,
And I love you if you’re bad.

No matter how you feel,
I love you all the time.
Oh my sweet, dear baby,
I love you all the time.

I jolt up, a scream lodged in my throat. Drops of sweat roll down my forehead and my throat hurts as if I've been screaming for a long time.

I can feel that I'm in a dream, but I can't wake myself up.

It’s too dangerous…I would never be able to forgive myself if something happened to him. I wouldn’t be able to bare it. Forgiveness would be out of the question; beyond my ability. I would never be able to forget that the boy I loved was hurt…or worse…because he came to this world. Because of me.

I am ready for battle. I am ready to fight.

I sigh contentedly as I close my eyes, allowing his body heat to warm me. Even though I’ve had an amazing time on our date, this is the highlight of my day. I’ve always been more of a simple pleasures kind of girl. Which isn’t me saying I’m ungrateful for everything he did today. Today was magical, and I will remember it for the rest of my life, but I don’t need grand gestures from Kal.
I just need him.
