"You don't understand, I can't have you no matter how much I desire you." I let out a defeated sigh, no matter how much he tried to convince me, I was never going to give up. "You don't understand, either. I love you, I can't imagine my life without you."
"You're making this harder for me, Juleanne." I could see it in his eyes that he was pushing me away out of fear. In his eyes, he was begging me to cut him out of my life.
"You're the one giving up on us."
"I'm doing this for your own good." For the first time, tears fell down his face. He shoved my hands off his face, he turned against me. "No, don't do this please!" I grabbed his shirt pulling him towards me, I was desperate to salvage what we had left but he shoved me to the ground. "I'm sorry, I wish you'd understand I'm doing this for you."
"I never asked for this."
"I never asked for you, yet here we are."
