"I'll keep choosing you, even when I know you're not good for me." -Jawad Dikko "I'm yours, I have always been yours....I only need the voices in my head to believe you're mine too."- Layla Tafida Aliero The best person to fall in love with is who knows you the most. Layla didn't believe that, the last person she wanted to spend the rest of her life with was someone who saw every single ugly side of her. And he was that. He saw her, all of her. Bringing herself to accept him would do him more harm than good and she believed she was saving him, saving him from herself. Except, not having him was worse than ruining him. She was selfish with him. If fixing herself was the only way to have him then she was ready for that, her only prayer was for it not to be too late. For her redemption and his love.
