Marianne
You know I love you, and I’ll never feel this way about anyone else.
I don’t know why I can’t make people love me. I think something’s been wrong with me since the moment I was born.
I’ve been used to being lonely my whole life.
It makes me happy to make you happy.
I think I’m just someone who’s too cold.
I know… you probably hate me. But you’re the only one who talks to me.
Connell
When I’m with her, I can just be myself.
I never feel lonely when I’m with you.
Life doesn’t feel like it fits me.
I called just to say I miss you so much.
I can’t talk to anyone else the way I talk to you.
It doesn’t feel like this with anyone else.
