I hold you close, my greatest treasure. Something most precious between us. I'm scared to show it to the people in my world. They have been known to smash things. Make things irreparable. Or maybe it's just my clumsiness that makes precious things dull. I am unsure. All I know is I want you close. I want to hold you in my arms and protect you for as long as I can. Because, some day, I know I have to let go. Let all the people – both in your world and mine – know what is between us. And that should not make me fearful; rather it should be that I become brave. That the most precious thing I protect is an armor rather than a fragile vase. Strong. Resilient. All the more precious for it's rarity.  
It may need some edits. I wrote it on a whim. I have this feeling of love, of caring, for someone. It ebbs and flows like a tide. That part scares me. But today, it seems there is a great wave of affection. And with it, the urge to write.

The voice of this piece to me feels like it could be a parent, especially a mother, and this is how she feels for her child. If I look at this another way, it could also be the heart of the person.
