Description -

The idea of love has always been scary for the Luthor, love means vulnerability, risk, and from what Lena had seen in her life time so far it means a 100% chance of heart break.

She wanted to try to write down her feelings for once instead of storing them all away in little boxes, but the only word that kept popping up in her head was Kara. She had loved Kara as a best friend for years, she the reporter had knocked down her walls and stole Lena's heart in an instant, before the brunet had a chance to fight it. Kara forced her to trust her. And of course it ended in heart break, just like Lena had predicted.
She forgave Kara and mostly understood why her friend kept such a secret for so long, but even with that forgiveness she knew she was too afraid to open up to the Kryptonian in the way she wished she would, in the way she desired with every nerve in her body.
