"I want to save you."

"I do not need saving."

"You do."

"But I don't want to be saved."


You were brought upon this world not to save those who do not want to be saved,

Especially by you,

You are only walking over the edge of a large ledge,

Please do not come forth for you may fall into a bottomless pit of unrequited pining.


But what if I fall deep below, what if I fall to the end of this pit?

If you fall, there is no guarantee that you can come back up once more.


Should there be a reason to come back?

There will always be a reason.

Like what?

What if you do not cross paths with them underneath? 

What if both of you go your separate ways?

Separate ways, how could we possibly go our separate ways?

What if someone above is waiting for them to come up? 

And when they do, they get pulled up from that bottomless pit, in which you may never escape from.


How are you the goddess of love? You are a pessimist.

Oh, darling, love may be reciprocated but it will never be outweighed,

Two people cannot love each other just as much,

Someone has to love the other more than the other loves them.
