It's not that i don't want you. I lied, earlier, when i said i was protecting you. I'm protecting myself. I don't want to be your rebound, Jacqueline. Then why are you assuming that role? It's not what i want, either. What am i gonna do with you? I can think of a couple things.

I used to think of two people in love like that. Like puzzle pieces, fitting together. But it's not like that at all. Love pulls a part of you out, and it pulls a part of him - like taffy, stretching but not separating. The tendrils of each one wrap around the other, until they meld together. One, but not quite. Separate, but not quite.

Tammara Webber
But just because you’re strong and resilient doesn’t mean you never need someone to be there for you, to take care of you.
