You’re right. You’re right. I have forgotten how to act…
““You’re right. You’re right. I have forgotten how to act like a normal human being. And I play games. I lie. And I trick people to avoid the truth of how I feel. And the idea of letting anyone close to me is, is terrifying for obvious reasons. But the truth, Teresa, is that I can’t imagine waking up knowing that I won’t see you. The truth is - I love you. You can’t imagine how good that feels to say out loud. But it scares me and it is the truth. It is the truth of what I feel.””
