I often catch you looking at me secretly through the small space left in the blinds. The soft pink that coloured your cheek instantly when you noticed I caught you, would be the most amusing thing to me.

There was something about you that I couldn't shake off. Something desirable, a want, a need and most importantly an urge to stake claim and protect, but could I do that?

What right did I have to barge in? Come into your life unannounced and without any warnings dragging my emotional baggage with me.

No.

I wanted to protect you. Protect your innocence. Wanted you to be as normal as possible. Live a life as normal as possible.

Even if that means I would have to keep my distance.
