"I am clinging to you
Never letting go
'cause I know that
You'll lift me out"

~ Lifeline by Brooke Fraser

He grips her hand tight and refuses to let go. He can't let go. He won't. If he does, he'll most certainly drown. He knows he can't go on without her there to guide him.

He can feel the tears push at the back of his eyes, feel their yearning to be released and to fall. He bites them back. Now is not the time for tears. When is it ever?

He grits his teeth and focuses on the feel of her hand in his. Warm. Fragile. Reassuring. She is his lifeline, his one and only.

He tightens his grip.
