The first time I saw her, I snapped for her. I watched her smile and I wanted to be like her, to love life that visceral way that she could do well. I lowered the defenses and let her in, promised her protection from her fears and a bastard world like mine. But I'm an officer in the United States Air Force, I embody everything she hates and runs from, and I'm too screwed up to deserve something that good. I have confirmation when my life is turned upside down in Afghanistan and I get stuck down there, dragging her with me to the bottom. But she's the only thing I believe in, everything I can see and fight for. And I want to protect her, even though I'm the one she should stay away from.
She is perfect.
I am a mess.
We're the fairest thing that's ever happened to me, and I don't want to give it up.
Deep down, I know, she doesn't want it either.All Rights Reserved
