"Let me love you."
"Love doesn't exist."
"Then what are these feelings I have for you?"
"You're hurt and lost. Whatever you feel for me isn't real. You just want someone to hold you while you fall apart."
"Maybe so. But I know you're also falling apart. You've been lied to and beaten down so many times. And I'm so sorry I wasn't there to protect you. But I'm here now. Just let me in. Let me give you the love you deserve."
"What about the love you deserve, hm? You deserve someone far better than me. I'm a monster. I destroy everyone I love because I can't control my feelings. But you, you love softly and timidly. You would never be able to survive the chaos that consumes me."
"You're wrong, you know that? You aren't a monster. You are a goddess. A woman so strong and capable of living on her own. I admire your independence and confidence. But don't tell me it doesn't get lonely, being alone all the time. That could change if you would just take down your walls."
"If I do that, I could hurt people. I could hurt you."
"The only person you're hurting is yourself."
"Better me than anyone else, right?"
