“I don’t want to stop talking to you, and I don’t want us to become strangers. I want you to get to know me, to really know me, and I want to know you better too. I care about you more than I’ve ever cared about anyone, but I’m not ready for… for more. Not yet, even though I want to. I need to find myself first because you deserve the best version of me, and she doesn’t exist yet. I-I’m sorry.”
