By Allison Stein, Assistant Editor and Poetry Editor
I can never really be afraid
When you hold my hand;
You turn my tears to smiles
And always defend me.
You make me laugh loudly,
Feel deeply, believe faithfully,
Dream passionately, hope fearlessly,
And love relentlessly.
I treasure every moment
We spend together,
Every word you speak to me,
Every time you say you love me.
When you hug me,
I want to hold onto you forever.
Thank you for protecting me;
I wish I never had to let go.
