I watch every shadow that leans too close to her. The world thinks I hover because I’m paranoid, but they don’t know the truth. She’s fragile in ways they can’t see. Every smile she gives costs her, every step forward is a battlefield. I’ve sworn to stand between her and the storm — not because she asked me to, but because I can’t breathe if she’s in danger. If love means chains, then let me be the one bound.
