It isn't that I'm afraid you'll leave me, it's that you'll be taken. Again. I don't want to be that scared child anymore, watching you fade away from me like you did once before. It took us so long to get back together, I don't want to lose that again and these memories, what if the build walls between us. All I will ever be, all I have is my past in Rapture, our shared past, but you have something different and something deeper that no matter your promises now, could still take you away. If only by inches.

But if it is truly what you want, I will keep my fears to myself. I will do that for you, because I love you and you want this so badly. "I know, and I will never leave you. Never ever again." I wrap my arms around you, because I feel it's all I can do, but it feels like an ending. Like we're on a cliff, looking over the edge and you're about to fall. All I want to do is hold you close and keep you safe.
