I woke to the sound of you crying. I looked over to you and rested a hand on your shoulder.

"Babe, is everything ok? What's the matter?"

You told me about the nightmare you just had. In it, I dumped you pretty harshly and started dating someone else. I made you look at me, my expression serious, but tender.

"Sweetheart, you know that's never going to happen. I love you, and only you."

SMOOCH SMOOCH SMOOCH SMOOOOOCH!

"It was just a bad dream, honey. It'll be ok."

I cuddled you securely, just holding you.
