"You never liked him."

"I know, I don't understand why I'm so invested in it. It's driving me crazy."

"Do you like him now?"

"No. I guess it just felt nice knowing someone loved you like that. Now that he's with someone else I just..."

"You want to feel loved."

"Yes! But, is that selfish of me? Stealing someone's heart without giving them mine in return? Wanting to be loved but not love anyone back?"

"I don't think it's selfish to want to be loved, I think it's something everybody wants."

"Do I even deserve it? I take hearts and manipulate them, leaving them mangled and broken. I don't let anyone touch mine but expect everyone to have theirs open to me. What's wrong with me?"

"I don't think anything is wrong with you. I think you've just never loved anyone yet. Once you do things change, believe me."

"What if I'm unloveable?"

"Boys fall for you all the time."

"Okay, but what if I'm incapable of loving someone?"

"I guess we'll have to wait and see."
