“I’m not pushing you away because I want to, Noah. I guess I just don’t want to see the day when you finally look at me––and I mean really look at me––and realize how exhausted I make you too. I know you think you’ve got me all figured out, but I’m not the girl you get to know as more than a friend. I am the damaged and emotionally unstable girl that will drain you with all her endless problems until you can’t take it anymore and leave.”
