There  isnt  much  left  on  her  tongue.  Not  when  he  put  it  so  bluntly.  Why  was  she  a  doormat?  Why  did  she  let  others  dictate  her  life  and  ruin  so  much  for  her  --  she  didn't  know.  Maybe  it  was  fear;  that  always  seemed  to  be  a  good  answer.  The  right  one.  

❝  i’m used to people generally not giving a shit about me.  doesn’t mean i can’t still choose to care regardless of whether not people will care back.  ❞

❝  i’m not kind because i expect anything from it.  i do it because i like how it feels.  because people have not generally been kind to me and i don’t want to be that sort of person to someone else.   ❞

❝  why didn’t you ever tell me you were dealing with so much?  you didn’t have to keep this to yourself.  ❞

❝  it’s okay.  i don’t need you to help me…but if you wanna stick around while i fix it myself i wouldn’t mind the company.  ❞

❝  i generally don’t like people as a rule.  but i don’t mind you.  so uh,  don’t fuck that up for me alright?  next time you’re in trouble just call me. ❞

❝  are you sure you don’t want me to stay?  ❞

❝  you know i can tell when you’re lying.  so you can either talk about what’s wrong or we can just sit here together.  either way,  i won’t let you do this alone.   ❞

❝  no,  i don’t need you.  but i do want you.  my life is fine without you,  but it’s great when you’re in it.  i don’t need to be dependent on you for this relationship to be important.  ❞

❝  well,  i already did the ‘kicking their ass for being a jerk’ part.  now i’m doing the whole,  showing up for you and making sure you’re okay now part.  ❞

❝  i don’t want to be like this.  i want to change but i don’t know where to start.  ❞

❝  i see you.  i just wanted you to know that.  i always see you.  ❞

❝  i haven’t really done the whole dating thing in a while but,  do you want to?  we could go to dinner—or coffee?  ❞

❝  we’re having a spa night,  okay?  i already have a bath started and there are face masks on the counter.  no arguments.  we need this.  ❞

❝  don’t start giving me the damn puppy eyes i was already gonna say ‘yes’ okay?  ❞

❝  this is a bad idea but i’m already committed so i might as well not half-ass being a dumbass.  ❞

❝  i always feel better when you’re here.  ❞

❝  i’m going to give you a hug now but if you tell anyone about it i will have to kill you.  ❞

❝  did you just flip off that old guy?  ❞

❝  i know you’ll lie to me if i ask if you’re okay so i’m skipping past that part and telling you to go home and get some rest.  ❞

❝  you know i’m not good for you right?  there’s probably a hundred other people you could be going to right now instead of me.  ❞

❝  can i say something here?  or do you need another minute of rambling before i get to do the part where i say what you need to hear and you realize you’re freaking out over nothing?  ❞

❝  don’t you get that i need you?  you’re always going on about being fine and being able to manage on your own and i’m sure that’s true.  but what if i’m not?  what if i need you in my life.  and i need you to let me help you with your life too? ❞

❝  i know you’ve been having a shit time so i brought some food.  ❞

❝  hey— get your hands off my plate.  i made you your own.  ❞

❝  i know you like the rain,  but it’s getting cold.  you need to come in before you get sick.  ❞

❝  i knew i’d find you here.  ❞
