After everything, you come to me now and tell me that was the best you could do? You did that for me?
Do not kid yourself. You just did not have faith in me. You thought I was only capable of selfishly receiving love from you and that you were the only one giving love in our relationship.

You can cover up bad memories with good ones. (Young Do to Da Jeong)

You fear relationships that require emotional commitment. Why? You have been burned a lot. You read the ending of mystery novels first and do not even watch a new TV show unless you know it has a happy ending.

When I had gone through something unbelievable or strived to hold back my tears, he was always there for me. But never once did he rush me saying, "Do not cry, or you can do it, or get up."

Everything will be alright."
