"He took something from me. He took little pieces of me, little pieces over time, so small I didn’t even notice, you know? He wanted me to be something I wasn’t, and I made myself into what he wanted. One day I was me, and then suddenly I was lying for him, and agreeing to be married and wearing a ring, and being a bride. Until I was standing there in a wedding dress, and I wasn’t me anymore.

And even then, I would’ve married him. I would have. I lost myself for a long time. And now that I’m finally me again, I can’t… I love you. I love you more than I loved him. I love you. And that scares the crap out of me because you took a piece of me today, and I let you.

And that will never happen again."
