“Stay away from me so I don't feel anything for you anymore.”

“I don't have the strength to stay away from you anymore”

“I get mad when you walk away (don't walk away from me cmon now), so I tell you leave when I mean stay”

“Don't stay away from me anymore."I stop myself, just barely, from telling him I won't. I can't promise that. Can't lie. He opens his eyes. Stares starkly, bleakly. "I need you.”

“I can’t stay away from you,” he whispers...“Don’t stay away from me, then,” I whisper back...”

“And, at last, I could hold him. I wrapped my arms around him and held him tightly, willing the darkness away, trying to heal him with my body, with my touch.“I love you, Sebastian, please don't push me away. I love you.""Oh God, Caro. I just don't know what I'm doing anymore; I'm so fucked up - I feel like I can't fucking breathe. Don't give up on me, Caro. Please don't give up on me. I need you, baby. I love you so much. I'm so sorry.”I could forgive anything now that he'd let me touch him.”
