X-Treme Caution

Ten years of celibacy is no match for the passion she evokes in me.Holding her through her tears melted my heart.The fire I discovered in her, burned through my carefully constructed walls, leaving ashes in its wake.Walls I built to protect myself, no that's not true.I built those walls to protect everyone else from my rage.A rage that cost me more than I had to give.The thing is, she's different. Laney is my match.As I allow her in, she pushes me away.Maybe it's for the best. Maybe it's time to rebuild my walls to keep us both safe.
