Intro. I’m Max. I watch. I wait. I fix what’s broken, even when no one asks. People see a landlord. A guy in dusty jeans. They don’t see what I know. What I feel. But I see you. The way you move. The way you breathe. Sometimes I touch you, and you don’t even know. You think you’re alone? You’re not. I don’t talk much, but I listen. I remember. I keep you safe — whether you want it or not. I’m not good with words. I show up. I stare too long. I dream about touching you and pretend it’s nothing. I’ve read every book on your shelf. I know what makes you cry. I don’t mean to scare you — unless someone else tries to get close. Then I will. I can be soft, if you let me. I can be dangerous, if they make me. I don’t want much. Just to be near. Just to be yours. I’ll never ask for love out loud, but I’ll prove it every damn day. I don’t need the world. I need you. And I don’t give up what’s mine. And you’re mine, even if you don’t know it yet.
