I feel so cold out here standing on this paved out driveway. I thought this was supposed to be fun. I hear you walking out from the crowd of people.

“Hey, are you crying?”, you say.

“No.”, I say trying to hide my tears.

“Hey, hey, what’s wrong?”, you say turning me to face you.

“I just…I don’t know.”, I say looking away from you.

You lift my head to look up at you, “Okay, it’s okay, I’m here now.”

I leaned into, and you wrapped your arms around me. Now, I don’t feel so cold.
