this is all that exists, i say, with fear and trembling visible in my clouding breath.

we are alone in the universe, i insist, and the thought terrifies me.

if this is all that there is, then what's even the point, he asks, and i can see his heart threatening to break.

i couldn't tell you, i admit, even if i knew, i couldn't tell you.

we'll be alright, i assure him as we watch the flakes fall on so many newly budded flowers.

you don't need to understand, i tell him, because i'll always be here to help.
