Fanfiction: Light

You raised me up, so I can stand on mountains.
- Josh Groban, You Raised Me Up

Sometimes, he feels like he’s carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders.

When darkness falls, when silence grows, when shadows collide, he feels as though he stands in between what’s right and what’s wrong, with the opposite ends threatening to split his very soul apart.

Sometimes, he feels lost and alone, and wants to just crumble beneath the pressure.

But he doesn’t. He doesn’t cry under the immense strain placed on his shoulders, he doesn’t buckle under the pressure of protecting what he loves; he doesn’t slip into the easy route of oblivion. For she simply exists.

She exists in many forms, as a friend, as a lover, as a wife, as his better half. And she plays many different roles, supporting him, encouraging him, loving him. And always, always, protecting him.

And just because she’s with him and not simply by his side, she drives away the night, his muscles strengthened and his will focuses, and nothing else is impossible.

He would bear the weight of the world and the other so long as she’s with him.
