Hating Fear
Why does this happen to me? Always! I hate it, I hate it!
I'm so scared. Scared that you won't return, scared that you'll come back changed. Scared that I'll have to watch the honor guard take away a torpedo casing draped with the Federation flag - and bearing your body.
In my mind, my fear is illogical and without motivation. Things have always turned out just fine, regardless of the circumstances.
But, I know in my heart that if I were to lose you, I would have nothing left. No life, no reason to live.
It's happened again. As always.
