"i'm not asking you for anything. when i say i love you, it's not because i want you, or because i can't have you. it has nothing to do with me. i love what you are, what you do, how you try. i've seen your kindness and your strength. i've seen the best and the worst of you. i understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are, and you are one hell of a woman. and you're the one."
