“If he touched her, he couldn't talk to her, if he loved her he couldn't leave, if he spoke he couldn't listen, if he fought he couldn't win.”
“He could do only one thing at a time. If he held her, he couldn't kiss her. If he kissed her, he couldn't see her. If he saw her, he couldn't feel her.”
“He loved her all he could; but he couldn't love her very much.”
“The betrayal meant he couldn't trust her anymore, and his heart told him he couldn't forgive her.”
“He kissed her as if he couldn't get enough of her.”
“What was worse, he couldn't tell her how much he thought he maybe might kinda sorta love her.”
