Let Me Comfort You

“Naomi…are you ok?” EROS asked softly as he leaned his face in even closer to mine.

Our faces were only a few inches apart. I couldn’t help but stare into his beautiful light hazel eyes.

“I’m scared. I’m so scared…help me. I don’t know what’s going on anymore…” I said and my voice cracked with emotion.

EROS pulled me into his arms and hugged me tightly to comfort me. That was when I realized that I had started crying. What is happening to me?

No, I have to go. I can’t stay here anymore…

I tried to pull away from him, but EROS only held me tighter in his arms and I couldn’t get away. Maybe deep down, I didn’t want to get away. I just wanted him to comfort me. The scenes from that day so long ago came back to me and I hugged him tightly to me. I’m…so...scared…

“I’m here for you, Naomi. It’s going to be ok. I’m here. I’ll always be here for you,” EROS repeated those comforting words over and over close to my ear.
