No man has ever loved a woman as much as I love you. Nothing will ever come before you. I don’t know what else I have to do to prove to you that I won’t let you down again. I won’t hurt you. You don’t have to be alone anymore. I need you.

You aren't what I expected. I wish you were. It'd be so much easier.

Luckily, I's learned at an early age that self-preservation was the only way to survive with your soul intact.

When you love someone, you can't lie to them. It hurts to much. It's a deception that goes too deep.
