Prompt: un_love_you#17 – Wish I didn't love you.


I know you didn’t understand the reality – the dangers – until today. I hurt you, could have killed you.

And yet you’re standing outside my door anyway, less naïve and just as determined.

I wish I had your faith in me.

I’m sorry I don’t.

But this just proves what I’ve been saying, what I’ve known all along: it can only end badly, it’s too dangerous, I’m too dangerous.

For your own good, for the good of us both, I have to stay away. To keep you safe.

I just wish I didn’t love you – then it wouldn’t be so hard.
