Hey, hey, hey there wake up come on come back to me
Come on
Wake up
There you are
It's okay
I'm here
It's me
It's me
Fruity and you're here
with me in your bed
Back in reality
You're safe
You're safe darling
Everything is okay
Everything's alright
It's fine
I can promise you
It's safe
Shhh
It's okay
I think you were having another nightmare
Listen
I'm just going to stroke my fingers through your hair
Is that okay?
Okay
There
There you go honey
It's okay
You're safe
I'm right here
Was
Was it
Was it that nightmare again?
Oh sweetie
I'm sorry
I'm so sorry
Listen
No, no
Don't apologize
Don't worry about waking me up
Because I'm here for you
Okay?
Because I care about you so much
I want you to feel okay
So I'll gladly stay up the whole night
Just to watch over you
If need be
Because
You mean
So
So much to me
You really do
Oh goodness
You're trembling
No, no, it's okay honey
Sweetie, it's all over
You're here with me
In your bed
Do you feel my hand going through your hair?
That's my hand
You're safe
Because you are here
With me
Mm-hmm, that's right
Oh my god
You're still trembling
Oh my goodness, you poor thing
Can I hold you?
Well, if you don't feel up to it, it's fine
No pressure
I promise
But
I want to cuddle up
Be beside you
And hold you close
Yes?
Okay
If you can lie on your back
I'll lie on the bed next to you
Is that all right with you?
Okay
We'll do that
There we are
All snuggled up
Oh honey
You're shaking
And you're soaked with sweat
It must have been terrible for you
That nightmare
No, no
Don't apologize
There is nothing for you
To apologize for
Sweetie, do you hear me?
I'm here
Because I want to be here
There is nowhere else in the world I'd rather be
Than lying right here next to you
Okay?
Oh goodness
It's okay to cry
It's okay to cry, honey
It's okay
Do you know something?
Crying is nature's way of getting rid of the pain
It all comes out
In your sobs and in your tears
And I know that from a lot of experience
Once it's out of your system
Away it flies
And you will feel so much better
So don't ever feel ashamed to cry
Do you hear me?
Just let it out
Okay?
Just let it all out
I'm here beside you
And I won't let anyone hurt you
Because if someone wants to hurt you
They have to go through me
And I promise you
No one gets through me
There, there, there
Let it all out
Shhh
It's okay
Breathe now
Breathe, sweetie, okay?
Nice and slowly
In through your nose
And out through your mouth
Okay, keep doing that slowly
And it should help you feel a little calmer
Mm-hmm, that's right
You got it, just like that
Well done
Mm-hmm
Well done
There you go
So let's talk for a minute
It was the nightmare again, hm?
Well, was it exactly the same as the other ones?
Oh
I see
I know, honey
It's terrifying
Because it feels surreal, doesn't it?
Well, I'm glad that we're here together
The past is not in this room, sweetie
It left a long time ago
And it's gone for good
And now we have to deal with the ripples that it has left behind
The nightmare is one of those ripples
You know, I've gone through the same thing
It hurts
It's a terrible experience that we both went through
It stinks
It's horrible
And I don't know why anyone would inflict such a wonderful person like you
With this kind of pain
But I want you to know
That you did not deserve to suffer like that
Okay?
You did absolutely nothing to deserve it
Nothing
Do you understand?
You were and are a victim, honey
What was done to you was wrong
It was disgusting what that person has done
You did nothing to deserve this abuse
And you were far too scared to prevent it from happening
That isn't your fault
What has always amazed me about you is that
Despite everything
You are such a sweet and gentle
And such a kind, loving person
You are strong
You are brave
You're my friend
Always
And I care about you
So, so much
Sweetie
You're one of the best people that I know in this world
And I'm proud of you
You hear me?
I'm proud
We're gonna get through this, okay?
You and I
And whoever else wants to help support you
We're all a team
And maybe the nightmares will come back again
Maybe they won't
But if they do
We are a team
And we'll get through this together
I'm with you
So please
Don't ever forget
You are loved
And you're special
And you're so dear to me
You are amazing
And I'm so proud
To be able to know you
Okay
I'm gonna go and stay cuddled up
Right here
Next to you
For tonight
And let's see if we can fall asleep together
Remember
I'm holding you right here
In my arms
And I promise
I'm not going to let you go
Even in our dreams
I care about you so much
Remember
You are loved
You are safe
And most importantly
You are never alone
I'm here
Sleep now, okay?
Alright, sweetie
Sleep long, sleep well
I'll be watching over you
And I'm here to protect you
Sweet dreams
Okay?
Sweet dreams
