I once wanted to run from this life, now it’s one I’m not sure I could ever walk away from.

Wanted. Because of her. I became a different man. She became a different woman. And not all wars are worth fighting, you learn that in this life. But others, they’re important. Necessary. Some wars you need to win, to save everything. Everyone. Sometimes things happen that you cant control, and you have no choice but to deal with it…
