You have to know that I'm in love with you, and I want you to choose me instead of him.
I won’t let anyone hurt you. I won’t let him hurt you. I promise.
It's a good thing you're bulletproof. I'm going to need a lot of help.
I never promised to fight fair.
Time passes. Even when it seems impossible. Even when each tick of the second hand aches like the pulse of blood behind a bruise. It passes unevenly, in strange lurches and dragging lulls, but pass it does. Even for me.
It’s just that I know a few things about loss. And I’ve learned that it never goes away completely.
I’m not used to feeling so human. Is it always like this?
You’re not asleep, and you’re not dead. I’m here, and I love you. I have always loved you, and I will always love you.
The absence of him is everywhere I look. It’s like a huge hole has been punched through my chest.
I’m like a lost moon—a bright, empty circle in the sky. Alone and surrounded by stars.
In the perspective of the world, I was the oppressor, not the victim. I was the villain, not the hero.
I would always love this fragile human girl, for the rest of my limitless existence.
