Eight months are far too fast,
for a young girl to understand.
But she laughs at how
her heart flutters,
as he gently takes her hand.
A smile spreads across
her face,
as she thinks of what is to come.
He slowly traces the back
of her neck with just the tip
of his thumb.
Her heart fills with excitement,
Her mind fills with fear.
"Dont worry" he says,
"I will always be near."
