“You need time to learn yourself, to learn what inspires you, to learn your hopes and dreams, to figure out your boundaries.” I paused, trying to figure out the right words for the last thing I wanted to say. “Monroe, baby, when you do all that and when you’re healed, you better believe I’ma be there with open arms, waiting for you to choose a nigga. Not because I’m the only nigga that’s ever treated you like you deserve or because I be digging yo’ fucking guts out, but choose me because you know who the fuck Monroe is and how I fit into your life.”
