You and Him

When I think about you with him, it makes me smile. Those hands cradle you better than these did. I know you're safe. I know you're taken care of. Your heart doesn't need a fortress anymore. Knowing that you are loved makes my nights alone bearable. I couldn't stand it if we were both alone. I had my chance. Hell, I had ten. I couldn't pull the sword from the stone. I wasn't strong enough. I wish you and your noble suitor luck; hope I haven't done any irrepairable damage.
