Better man Quote by Dawn Cano
““really wish things could have been different between us. I would give anything to turn back time and try harder to make you happy. Believe it or not, I'm not saying that because of the disease. I'm saying it because I loved you. You were everything to me once. You were the person who made me a better man. You were my future, my one true love. Now, you're nothing. When I see your face, I feel nothing but contempt and hatred, feelings I didn't””
