One of my favourite group just released a new song called "Pas Peur" and it inspired me a little something that I thought I would share with you. Hope you'll like it ☺️
Not afraid had quickly become their words. The words they'd murmur themselves in the ear late at night. The words that helped them go through every challenge life threw at them. Because they were together.
And Lucas wasn't afraid, he wasn't afraid of the dark or of leaving everything behind. He wasn't afraid of storms or ghosts, he wasn't afraid of the end of the world or of what other people thought. He wasn't afraid of hell, he wasn't afraid of being forgotten, he wasn't afraid of silence or monsters. As long as Eliott was with him.
But there was one thing he was afraid of. He was afraid of Eliott being able to live without him because Lucas couldn't.
When Eliott was with him, Lucas wasn't afraid of his dad, wasn't afraid of earthquakes or of ending up bald. He wasn't afraid of sickness and wasn't afraid of looking stupid. He wasn't afraid of clowns or soldiers. He wasn't afraid of crying, fighting or giving up. He wasn't afraid of all those things. He was only afraid of one thing.
When Eliott came back to their flat and heard the song playing in their bedroom while Lucas was lying on the bed, he simply laid down behind him and held him close, muttering in his ear. "Don't be afraid, I can't live without you either."
If you curious, here's the song:
It's by a group called LEJ. They're brilliant and deserve much more visibility 💙
