Distraction

They always try to break me, but I'm too strong. Untouchable.

Or at least I was... until she came along.

I had been focused on one goal for so long that I forgot there was anything else out there. Until Lana arrived.

She is everything I never imagined I'd find, and I love not being able to predict any of her moves or reactions. In part, that's why I fall more and more in love. But I also know that she closes herself off, that she hides things from me that she feels she can't share.

I wish one day she'll trust me enough to tell me.

I don't realize how strong she is until my work puts her in danger, but that doesn't stop me from doing everything I can to protect her. I should push her away for her to be safer, but I can't. So I'm forced to find other ways to keep her safe.

I just hope it's enough.

Although she's brave, she's still fragile... Right?
