I’ve always sensed you, it whispered. You’ve always sensed me. And I am here. In the darkness? I’ve been with you since birth. That didn’t sound right. I’ve had all your firsts. What the void whispered couldn’t be true. It is. With your first breath, you woke me. When your eyes first opened, I saw again. Your first words spoken echoed in my thoughts. Your first steps taken brought strength to mine. I’ve always been with you.
