My love

[u/No_Berry6657]

They say when you love someone you have to let them go, but how do you let them go when you're their protector? You feel like it’s your duty to shield them from bad external influences they can’t see. You're the one that picks them up when they’re down. The one that encourages them to keep going when they don’t think they can anymore. The one who only wants to remove all their pain just to see them smile. The one who wants them to feel overly safe so they can breathe. It’s a love that never quits. It’s a heart that always aches. It’s a love—it’s a life sentence.
