I stare into his green eyes, and know that it is safe for me to love him.

He’ll never abandon me. He’ll never say venomous words to intentionally hurt me. He’ll never betray me. He’ll never try to control me. He’ll never hurl obscenities at me. He’ll never fly into a rage and hit me. He’ll never threaten me. He’ll never abuse me, emotionally or physically.

My love is finally fail-safe.

I kiss the face on the poster as I have a million times before. My object of adoration will never let me down… all because I love a man I’ll never know.
