I know you’re still in there. And I know it’s hard, I know I can’t ever understand what it was like, what you’re going through, but we can find our way back to the way things were, we can. You want that as much as I do, I know you do, or you wouldn’t have tried so hard to be with me tonight.”

“There is nothing to stir up and dig out of me. This isn’t something you can magically fix with a little time and TLC. The harder you try, the harderItry to fake this into working, the more I want nothing to do with you.”
