Boyfriend Comfort II

Hey, sh sh sh.. You’re alright, it’s okay. I’m here.

No no, you’re alright. You’re here with me, in our bed…

In my arms, you’re safe. It’s just us and the rain, baby.

You just fell asleep, it’s okay. There’s nothing to be… hey, hey, what’s going on? You’re okay, it’s okay.

Because you fell asleep? It’s okay, baby. It was only a few minutes, not long at all.

Hey, what’s this? This… right here… I can tell you’re tense.

Are you alright, baby? That only comes out when something’s bothering you. What’s on your mind... was it a bad dream?

No... okay, well, that’s good. I didn’t think you were asleep long enough to dream but… I couldn’t be sure.

It’s okay though, baby. Whatever’s wrong, we can handle it together. I’ve got you. You’re safe.

You just look so worried and I want to make sure you’re okay. If you’re worried, I’m here to take care of you… to reassure you.

I’ve got you, and there’s nothing you need to worry about right now. Is it because you fell asleep and you didn’t mean to?

That’s not a big deal, baby… it was just a little nap, and I’m still right here.

You’re feeling anxious? Aw, baby, why didn’t you say so? It’s okay, it makes sense, you’ve had so much on your mind…

Anxiety can be so hard, but don’t worry baby. I’ve got you. I’m here and you’re safe.

Nothing else matters right now, just you and me and relaxing… here, just rest your head here, baby.

Yeah, that’s it. You’re so cute, baby. Keep listening. Slow and steady… just listening to my heart. Yeah, like that.

Let my heartbeat reassure you the way my voice does. Both reminders that I’m right here next to you…

Here, I’ll wrap my arm here, like this, so I can pull you in closer.

Mm, perfect, just like this. I love having you close, knowing you’re safe and I can comfort you… it makes me feel strong and capable…

Yes, really. I love taking care of you, comforting you. Being your safe space. Even if I don’t like when you’re sad, I love being the one to comfort you. I love you, you know that?

Good, now that we’ve established that we’re very much in love let’s just… relax, okay?

It’s time to unwind, and let go of everything that’s troubling you. Just snuggle into me, baby. I’ve got you.

I know it’s been a long week and you’re under a lot of stress… there’s so much on your mind, and you’ve been feeling pretty anxious.

But when you’re here with me, like this, none of that matters. The only thing that matters right now is you, and me, and this sea of comfort and softness around us.

Can you try to relax for me, baby? Just let yourself settle, maybe get some more rest…

Are you comfy now?

Did that scare you baby?

It’s alright, it’s just a storm… just sound, remember?

I know you weren’t, I wasn’t expecting it either.

I’m right here, I’ve got you. You are safe here, in our bed, in our room.

You’re still feeling anxious, I can feel the tension in your body.. It’s hard to relax when everything’s so loud, isn’t it?

Yeah, everything out there, and in here, in your head, huh? Do you want to talk about what’s going on in that pretty head of yours?

I’m here, and it’s just us, I’ve got all the time in the world to listen if it’ll help.

No? You don’t want to talk?

Oh, you just want me to talk to you?

Well that’s okay baby, of course I can do that. Talking to you is my favorite. Well, right after lying in bed with you, curled up under the softest fluffiest blankets..

And would you look at that, we’re doing both.

You’re wrapped up, my arms around you, under these blankets, in our bed… no alarms set.

Shh, it’s okay, baby. I know the thunder is loud, and the storm makes you feel a little anxious. Let me hold you a little closer.

Can you feel that, my sweet girl? Take a big breath with me, I’ll start.

Very good. Now, you’re going to breathe out and let all those loud thoughts go with your breath okay?

That’s it, just relax… listen to my heartbeat and let yourself sink into me, I’ll support you.

I know you’re feeling anxious right now and that’s okay. Anxiety happens, but you’re not alone. I’m here, right here with you.

We can face anything together, can’t we, baby?

Even these big feelings.

Big thoughts too? Yeah, I understand. That happens to me too, when I can’t sleep. But just try to let go of those big thoughts, okay? Big thoughts aren’t for bed time.

Yeah, exactly. Bed time is for comfy thoughts. You’re safe, I’ve got you.

Right now, here with me… you’re safe baby.

It’s just you, me, and the rain…. Here in our bed, comfortable and safe.

Listen, can you hear that?

The way the rain is falling sounds like music on the windows, doesn’t it? It’s actually kind of relaxing… if you focus on that instead of the thunder. The rain… it’s sounds so nice, doesn’t it?

Yeah… everything is okay. Wrapped up in my arms, together under the blankets… what do we have to worry about?

Yeah. Good girl, I can feel you relaxing, you’re doing great baby.

Just let the stress go, and the worry… you don’t need to worry about anything tonight.

Nope, not even an alarm. Nothing to do right now… or tomorrow. We can just lie here as long as we want to, together.

It’s just us and this peaceful, safe space together.

And the thunder. Shh, you’re alright, it’s alright.

You’re safe baby, I’ve got you.

In fact, I’ve got an idea… let’s try something, okay, baby?

No, no don’t move, stay just like that. You’re perfect.

You just relax, right here in my arms… this game is more like a story.

I’m going to tell you a story okay, baby? And I want you to try to picture what I’m telling you. Can you try that for me?

Yeah, imagine you’re painting it in your mind. Okay? Good, that’s my sweet girl.

Now, take a deep breath with me…

Imagine your anxiety is like this storm… there’s rain and wind, thunder and lightning.

It’s loud and intense, and a little bit scary, and you feel like it’s happening to you, and you have no control.

Sh shh, you’re okay, keep listening I’ve got you.

Your anxiety storm is making lots of noise… lighting up all kinds of storm clouds in your sky… and you feel overwhelmed… but you keep going.

You keep moving, through the storm, through the rain.

You are protected, wrapped in a big, warm blanket of love… it protects you from the rain and the storm. It can’t take it away, but it helps shelter you from it… so it can’t get to you… and you keep going.

And as you go, the protection… It gets bigger and the storm gets smaller, and smaller… you’re moving further and further away from it. Starting to feel better…

The thunder stops, the lightning clears.

Good girl, I can feel you relaxing.

As the storm begins to calm, you do too… beyond the stormy thoughts and scary skies, there’s calm… peace…

And around you, there is safety and love.

You are wrapped up in a cloud of calm… you are safe.

Yeah… it’s okay. It’s just like that. You’re safe now with me. I am right here, always helping you find your way back to this calm space.

Close your eyes, baby, imagine it.

Imagine yourself, wrapped up in your own cloud of calm, my love making it stronger, keeping you safe.

Can you see your cloud of calm? Here, can you feel this?

These blankets, my arms around you… they’re part of your cloud.

It keeps you safe.

You’re safe here, right here with me, and nothing can get to you.

Just relax, knowing that there’s no need to worry about anything right now.

You can rest, right here while you listen to my heartbeat.

When the anxiety storms are loud and consuming, it feels like they’ll never end.

But this calm, your safe calm cloud, is always right here… right here, to keep you safe.

You are okay, you are safe… and you are so loved, baby.

You are strong, and resilient… so capable.

But you don’t have to get through these things alone.

I’m right here, my heartbeat in your ear, my voice to soothe you. Just relax with me.

You feeling more relaxed now?

I can tell, I can feel it in the way you’re slowly sinking into the mattress.. And I can see it in your heavy eyelids.

You look more relaxed, more at peace. That little furrow, right here, is gone too…

Why don’t you close those pretty eyes and try to get some rest?

I know you’re sleepy, you already nodded off once… you’re settled in now, safe and cozy here with me.

Yeah, there you go. Lean into me… get comfy, baby.

You’re so cute when you’re sleepy.

And there’s nothing better than being curled up with you, nothing else to do, just enjoy each other.

I can feel your breathing changing.. How you’re relaxing..

That’s it, baby, just relax, let yourself fall asleep.

You’re safe, I’ve got you… just let yourself drift off in my arms.

That’s my good girl. Goodnight, baby.
