To that girl who didn’t want to let go

Rot n Roll, I didn’t know you but I know what you were probably going through. It’s never easy asking for comfort. So, when you saw me and my ridiculous shirt, you took that leap of faith, Never be afraid. Did you know, when most people hug it’s only for less than 10 seconds? You were not most people as you held fast, you squeezed like your life depended on it. Honestly, I think it did. It was almost like you never wanted to let go, I was perfectly okay with it, I would’ve held you all night if you asked, I’ll never forget you even though I don’t have your name. What I most remember were the words you said, as if it took all your effort while choking back a sob

“Thank you”

And when the people around us got annoyed you let go, Gave me a smile. Turned around so fast I couldn’t ask for a name, leaving a goofy grin on my face.

I just want you to know. I was there for you, and I’ll always be. So stay fast, Stay strong, Because the next time I feel that squeeze I’ll remember and look at you, and I’ll be there for you again

So don’t be afraid; I’m proud of you for taking the leap! I would’ve liked to get to know you, and hold you even longer.
